Ecuador 2022:
Riobamba - Guamote - Alausi - Inca Pirca - Cuence
The next few days of our tour weren't my favorite, but still provided a lot of interesting cultural experiences and unique landscapes and people. I'm just going to rifle through some pictures and try to catch up on my blogging as I'm a couple years behind...according to annoyed family members.

| Guinea Pigs! These were everywhere, and usually just being grilled up on the side of the road by multiple vendors at random places. |
 |
| They took us to a couple of markets.... |
 |
| ....and to a school. |
 |
| Making a new friend. If it's not human and doesn't run away from me, I will become friends with it. |
 |
| This one particular town we stopped in had a bunch of train related things to see. Odd, but interesting. |
Every night we would stay in a hotel somewhere, and usually we had the place more or less to ourselves. It wasn't uncommon to gather in the hotel bar with our tour companions for a few drinks. More often than not though, we would venture out into the night to explore our surroundings.
 |
| Another thing that wasn't uncommon was Branelle napping in the bus. She can fall asleep in just about any moving vehicle, which I'm a bit jealous of if I'm being honest. |
While a lot of the towns in Ecuador seemed close to third-world, there were exceptions, like Cuenca. This city was beautiful and worthy of a visit and exploration.
The largest and most well preserved Inca ruins in Ecuador are Ingapirca. We took a lengthy guided tour around the site focused mostly on the history.
