Off we go again.

We returned to Quito yesterday afternoon to do laundry, stock up on food and catch our breath. The weather here is nice for the moment, but it is still supposted to rain for the next two weeks in all the mountain areas. Things are looking gloomy. Both Trav and I have gotten sick from something we ate and are enjoying a day of travelers diaerra. We are leaving in a few hours to drive north to the Volcano of Cayambe. With the way weather is, we may just be spending the night in the Refugio and returning to Quito, but we are hoping there is a break in the rain and we can go for the summit tommorow morning. If everything goes as planned, we should be back in Quito Saturday afternoon.
The rest of our trip is looking very bleak, all the mountains we planned to climb are not in any condition to be climbed at the moment. Unless the weather improves significantally, we might be changing our plans for the remanider of the trip.
I apologize for the spelling, I am in a rush, on a spanish keyboard and on a computer without spell check.

God Bless and Love Always,

Michael

Hey guys,

I've been reading your blogs every couple of days. It sounds like the trip is having some ups and downs(no pun intended) but non-the-less I bet it is a great place to be. The travelers diarrhea does not sound like much fun, but I bet the view from the summit of Cotopaxi made up for it. At least one person at the gym asks me about you every time I go in there. I hope the weather cooperates to some extent.

Be brave, Be safe.
