octavalo
so, not 10 minutes after the last post, i (we) ran into yet another fellow travelling cyclist freakshow...Claudio from Modena. we stopped at the gas station, filled up the stove bottle, made some tea, then decided to continue on together to octavalo, just 20k away. and then, not 10 minutes after that, we ran into another freakshow...didn't catch his name, but he was a big dude from switzerland who had been travelling around s america for 3 years (and looked it). he was going the other direction, so we just stopped to chat for a few minutes about this and that.
the last few days, the three of us have been living with the indigenous family that we met in cali. so far, a very cool experience. i'll write some more about them later. it's been very good for my spanish, because that's the only language everyone understands. we're planning to spend the weekend here, ride to quito monday and, for me, find all the crap that i didn't get at home or have already lost or destroyed.
