ecuador

ride to ecuador couldn’t have been any smoother. Stopped in las lagos to check see an out of place french gothic style church built in a canyon over a river but didn’t go inside cause it was a 50 minute walk from the parking lot. no thanks looks cool enough from afar.
Made it to the border, by far the best crossing yet. A breeze. No bogus fee$, no border mungers ( few but completely different style) no lines and the whole thing took maybe an hour.
First impression of Ecuador….. break my legs and leave me here…if it gets any better, im serious.
People are humble and genuinely friendly. Does have a poorer feel than colombia and its much cheaper. $1.50/gallon gas! First hotel $12, dinner was $5 (for two people.) cooler climate eliminates the constant in gear sweat and american dollar is the currency….no more thousands -multiplication- exchange- figuring-continuous- dumb-feeling -price-money- confusion

alot of the mountains have small dirt paths zig zagging up on the edgeunobstructed views all they way upfirst time ive seen blue trees, very cool
