Back in Quito (23-25/Jul/06)

Merida, Venezuela

We had planned to stop on the way back to Quito at a nice hacienda/restaurant by the Cotopaxi mountain (well, volcano in fact), but it was so cloudy it wasn't worth it. So instead we drove on by straight back to Miguel's house. Had a pretty big welcome party and stayed in bed most of the next day while Miguel went to work with a huge hangover. Well, we needed to gather energy for the Galapagos Islands. Postponed the next day's party for that very reason.
