My first Navidad!
I'm back from my 23rd great Christmas, and 1st Christmas away from home and family. In some ways, it felt extremely strange...almost not like Christmas. I've definitely never had a Christmas where I could have an outdoor BBQ on Christmas day, wearing just a sweater and jeans. And I've never had to ask for translations in order to know exactly what I was eating. On the other hand, parts of it felt just like home. The entire time was ...

From here we jumped back on the bus and headed off for the final stage of the tour, a disused railway track on the outskirts of Quito which winds through a valley. The first half was all downhill and extremely easy, however the 2nd half was all uphill.
