A very quick note: I arrived in Guayaquil without incident Sunday night and have been relaxing here in Cuenca since then. But now it’s off to visit my brother in Bolivia.
I leave from Guayaquil tonight on the red-eye to Lima; from there it’s on to Cuzco, where we plan to bus, with a stop in Puno, on the edge of Lake Titicaca, the 13 additional hours to La Paz. Then we’ll travel in Bolivia for a couple weeks before returning to Cuenca to teach on October 3rd. Reports will be sparse for the next few days.
