					<description><![CDATA[I am back in Quito mow since my flight will be leaving from here on Tuesday. It feels kind of right finishing the trip how I started &#8211; on my own. Walking around yesterday and today reminded me about some of my experiences traveling by yourself that I may have otherwise forgotten. I didn&#8217;t do much yesterday, but today I <span class="excerpt-dots">&#8230;</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.katiefortuna.com/2014/01/12/back-to-quito/"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading &#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We ended up spending an extra night in Montanita because we were enjoying the atmosphere there and liked our new accommodations. We really didn&#8217;t do much more than I said in my last post&#8230;which was relaxing on the beach. Our biggest decision of the day was always whether we should get an umbrella and chairs, or rough it on our <span class="excerpt-dots">&#8230;</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.katiefortuna.com/2014/01/09/puerto-lopez/"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading &#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We made it to the coast! The bus ride from Banos ended up being quite long and we had to switch busses a couple of times to get here, but we arrived yesterday before noon so it was a success! I&#8217;m not sure how to describe the place. It is busier than Mancora and not like any beach place at <span class="excerpt-dots">&#8230;</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.katiefortuna.com/2014/01/05/montanita/"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading &#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The last couple days we have just been relaxing and FINALLY finishing our school applications. I got a pedicure as there are an endless number of spas around. We also found a fantastic and cheap pizza place that we have eaten at twice. Today we walked a bit out of town to some hot springs. They weren&#8217;t quite as nice <span class="excerpt-dots">&#8230;</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.katiefortuna.com/2014/01/03/banos/"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading &#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We got up early the next day to do the rafting. The rapids were a class 3-4 and we had sooo much fun! We had one guy in our boat fall out, but thanks to our guides quick reaction he got him back in and we continued on. I definitely want to go again some time and wish I had <span class="excerpt-dots">&#8230;</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.katiefortuna.com/2014/01/01/rafting/"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading &#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The second day at the Otavalo market was nice, but not nearly as busy as Saturday. We finished up our shopping and headed back to Quito in the mid afternoon to make it back before dark. Our plan was really just to stay the night in Quito before heading to Banos the next morning.

					<description><![CDATA[Today has felt like an eternity. We got up early to start our journey to Otavalo which is about two hours outside Quito. We wanted to save some money so we took local transportation to the main bus terminal that took about 30 minutes. Once we got to the bus station we were in for a surprise&#8230;the line for tickets <span class="excerpt-dots">&#8230;</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.katiefortuna.com/2013/12/28/otavalo-market/"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading &#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was quite a boring day as we spent most of it at the hostel working on our applications for school. Today we ventured to the historical part of town. I have realized that most of the historical centres in different cities begin to look the same with big old cathedrals around a large main square. It was nice to <span class="excerpt-dots">&#8230;</span> <a class="more-link" href="https://www.katiefortuna.com/2013/12/27/old-town-quito-2/"><span class="more-msg">Continue reading &#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The hostel we were staying at was putting on a potluck lunch for Christmas day and doing a small gift exchange. On Christmas eve day we went out to get our supplies for the potluck and gift exchange. The stores were the same as at home, with the craziness of everyone doing their last minute shopping!

					<description><![CDATA[This morning we got up to have our last breakfast at the lodge and to start our journey back to Quito. On the two hour boat ride back to the road we were able to tick one more animal off the list. We saw a lazy sloth way up at the top of one of the trees.
