Stuff and Rio Pita

Okay so Tim and I climed Pichincha a few days ago and this time I made it to the top and I did not get sick so I feel good about that. the sumit is at 15300ft quite high for me. other then that Tim and I have been talking about doing a lot of things and not actualy doing any of them. Eve is finishing up her first modual of her MA program so she is busy all the time.

Tim and I had a wonderful trip to Rio Pita

Firts we could not find the bus it took asking questions walking and few blocks over the course of and hour before we did.

Second when we got of at our stop there were no trucks for hier, we walked around the town for about 30min and finaly hailed a cab.

Third the Taxi had no idea what we were talking about we spent and hour driving around and ended where we had started. He then got out to ask directions at a golf course they pointed us on up the hill the driver stopped again to ask directions after we had been driving for some time, we were send back down the hill. It has been another 30min finaly we drive by a sine which says in HUGE letters RIO PITA with an arrow.

Fourth we finaly get there after another hour in the taxi and low there is not enough time or enough money to take the hike and have the taxi wait and there is no garenty there would be another car the rest of the day. so we get back in the taxi and head back to the small town. a little on down the road we meet a hurd of cattle they begin nocking into the taxi (the poor man) in the end we payed 30 dollars which was 10 less then he asked for but we did not have any more to give him other then our bus fair.

We made our way back to Quito dissipointed and dispearated.

Yesturday on the TV there was a Camara cru at Rio Pita talking about what a beautiful place it is and how easy it is to accses, I almost died.
