Since I was a single looking for a bike tour, I joined in with a group of really nice New Yorkers that are a part of an outdoors club. During the long ride from Quito to Cotopaxi they filed me in on what was happening in the States. It was nice to speak American. Most of the English I have been speaking is with people from other countries. I think the people of the US would have been better off if Latin was not dumped out of our regular class load. Everyone I have met from other countries traveling knows at least 3 languages. Most of the people in the US can barely speak English.
We started our bike ride in the snow. As we rode toward the bottom, we passed through all the seasons. We had hale, rain, wind, and finally some sun. The views were really beautful. I can't say I was really excited about the actual bike riding part as the bikes were very basic and we rode on mostly dirt rode. It was a really nice day.
