"Hello Loved Ones!
Well we're out of the tents and into a hacienda - quite the transition. We were picked up from our campsite in the morning and driven to a hacienda in the town of Machachi. The hacienda is a charming old railway hotel - a perfect place for us to recharge for our Cotopaxi climb. We showered, ate, and organized our equipment (crampons, harnesses, ice picks) and asked Angus and Joaquim lots of questions. The next few days is such a new experience for us all - I guess that's one reason why we're here: to explore the unknown. Tomorrow we head for Cotopaxi and spend the night in a refugeo, a mountain hut at the base of the glacier. Our spanish phrase of the day is 'estamos listas' - we are ready!
Goodnight all."
