Day 2 (More Andes)

We are currently on our way to the little town called Sucua which is actually not even to be found on a map of Ecuador. If you were to look on a map of Ecuador though, it is on the far south east end. There are only two roads to get to the town and to get there you must go thru the mountains on many narrow curvy roads. Although it takes at least a good 8 hours (that’s if you’re in a car driving fast) the hours are taken away by the astonishing views. The mountains are literally breath taking and it’s something that can’t even be explained thru a picture. It’s something you must see for your self with your own two eyes. The only down fall are the bumpy roads. I was very shocked we made it about 6 hours before we got our first flat tire. It took about an hour to get it fixed but once we did we were back on the road and on our way to Sacua. By the time we were well into the night we arrived in town and were treated to a delicious chicken and rice dinner. Little did I know how popular chicken and rice were down here and how much more there was to come.

16 hours later...We made it!
