Heidi and Grace and I left the Galapagos Islands about a week ago, flew back to mainland Ecuador, and caught a bus up into the mountains to the old Spanish colonial town of Cuenca. Our journey to Cuenca made me realize how geographically diverse Ecuador is, we started our day on tropical islands and ended it in the cool and temperate Andes mountains. The old part of Cuenca is really charming, the three of us found a guesthouse with a little second floor balcony that looked down onto an old cobblestone street. During our few days there we explored the city, went to a museum or two, and hiked up into the surrounding hills where we found sweeping views of the city.
