Quito

Well mancora was sweet, we stayed at a really nice place on the beach that was right in front of the break. One of the days the waves were much bigger which ment there was more room and distace to ride. We went out, I am sad to report I didn't get up, I did however get flipped ass over teakettle and subsequently the waves after sent me to the shore. The ocean mistress and I have yet to become friends.
The next day we were on our way to Quito. It was a grewling 20 hours, the bus company told us that is was going to be 15 hours. First the bus was late by two hours, then we had to wait 1 hour because the bus had to eat because no food was going to be served on the bus. By the way even though there are assigned seats there are no assigned seats. There was a couple of people that moved for us but took a bit of discussion. The boarder was odd, for we had to get off the bus and "leave" Peru and have our papers stamped. Then we got on and we had to drive through this large town to the other side and then again had to get off to enter Ecuador. Was the town Peruvian or Ecuadorian? about 2 hours later there was a narcodics stop where we again had to get off and were checked. Happy to say that we carried on.
In Quito we have had some time to chill in the Sheraton, and live in luxary for a bit. We don't have enough time for a Amazon tour but we are going to go out on a couple of other trips and will see just as cool sights.
