The goup says its' goodbyes at the airport. Tammy and Taylor planning some activities for their next 24 hrs in Quito, Kerry and Theresa deciding on a trip to the botanical gardens, Keith and Setsuko resting up for the next phase of their trip-Cusco and Macchu Picchu. And, me, off on my own to a hotel near the airport, Rincon de Puembo, for an extremely early flight home to NYC on Sunday.
No more bunnies, turtles, iguanas, or boobies - but my hotel is the venue for an Ecuadorean wedding, complete with fireworks, so the travel adventure continues - always a new experience, insight, impression. I dine alone in the hotel's banquet-style dining room, catching up on the news and enjoying a quiet dinner, very appreciative of a few hours of solitude to absorb all the sights of the previous days.
