Banos...again
So, I´m back in Banos again, had to come see my latin cutie one more time before heading out. He´s really great, very sweet and doting, plus he digs me. I will indeed miss him.
We rented a car on Saturday and did some site seeing. It was really great to have a tour guide and to get off the beaten path. He showed the land he owns that he will be building a house on soon. It will have awesome mountain views. Yesterday we spent the day at some thermal pools here in town. Banos is famous for its thermal pools. It was great...hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms. Today he scored me a t.v. for my room, it´s rainy, so I´ve spent most of the day watching t.v. in English no less. That´s been a real treat!
My next destination will be Cuenca, Ecuador which is on the way to Peru. I´m trying to avoid the 7-8 hour bus ride south. So, I think I will head north to Quito (3 hours by bus) and then fly south to Cuenca. You have no idea how I´ve come to loathe the busses. I did fine in Central America, but I think that´s because it wasn´t as mountainous, so the roads were far straighter, plus most of the transportation I took in CA was extended mini vans, so I wasn´t stuck in he back of a long coach bus. I´ve been making it a point to befriend the bus drivers and sit up front with them whenever possible.
That´s all for now amigos. Hope all is well.

Checking in....needless to say you are having a good time. There is finally snow here which of course means really good skiing.... Not as exciting but it will do for now.
