Biking in Ecuador plus Quilatoa

Went biking here with a buddy of mine. Super fun. The requirements were to streets and no hills, so we went on a path the Ciclovia (tada) which twist through Cumbaya and Tumbaco for 20 km. It was bumpy but my pavement riding behind finally got used to it! It was great to get to ride...

We didnt make it the 20 km, while passing a truck on the ciclovia (it also seems to be a car via) he popped his tire and it turned out that his other two spare tubes where also holey... So we went into Tumbaco and finally found a bike shop...got it fixed and decided to head back. Super fun mountain biking adventure! I now have a sweet t-shirt tan that is super flattering :)

Went to Quilatoa over the weekend. (Will post photos later) It is a laguna in the crater of a Volcanoe. Amazing. It was a short trip, arrived and hiked for 2 hours in medio darkness, then returned very damp as we had been walking in the clouds! Ate and Danced. Hiked the next day, found a cave and headed back to Quito.

Have my first presentation tommorow...little nervous, but oh well... :)
