Today was our first day of class at school in Cuenca. After 3 days in beautiful Baños, we hopped a 7 hour bus through Ambato, Riobamba, and over high Andean mtn passes. We made some traveller friends there from Germany and Canada who bussed w/ us part of the way. Phillip & Julia, nice kids.
We arrived in Cuenca, where we will be for the next month-ish, just before sunset on saturday night. With our ¨back-packing foreigners¨ colors shining brightly, we were unable to find the house of our host family, nor was the cabbie with the correct address. As the sun was setting we got a room at Hostel Monaco in the city center, which was very nice and relatively cheap ($20 total w/ breakfast).
the internet is shotty here, so Ill post this now...

I hope you guys had super safe travels and are having an amazing time.. so sorry (and sad!) I didn't get to say a proper goodbye (or SEE you Max!) but the arrival of my new niece Scarlett pretty much threw the thanksgiving break into utter chaos!
