Woke up this morning feeling lousy - sore throat and a
head cold I thought I was going to feel like this all day but it has worn off. I
again had doubts as to whether I would be able to cycle at this alttitude but by
the afternoon I felt better.
I am in the old town at the moment which is lovely - all small side streets
and shops in people’s door ways. The people are really wee especially the women,
smaller than me! the Thorntons would walk tall throughout Ecuador, well at least
Quito. Some of the old women are so small and cute I´m tempted to squeeze one in
a pannier and bring her home, I´ll have to check customs to see if this would be
okay. I sure she could keep the flat clean and cook lots deep fried chicken.
I have tried a little Spanish and managed to purchase un onion, un
tomato, un chilli, un garlic and three metres of string. Off to sort out a guide
book and a stand for the bike.
