Me gusta mucha!

"It's nice to have reception again.
We're on Day 5 of our 'trek of the Condors'. It's our last night camping much to our delight. We've all become very proficient at putting up and down our tents, drying clothes, and living in tight quarters. It rained all night but miraculously stopped at 6am just as we were stirring. We walked to a pass at 4200m and then descended into a valley where we said goodbye to our team of arrieros (horse handlers). Our bags were put on a pickup truck and taken to our final campsite in the Limpiopungo Valley. We spent the last hours of sunshine sitting by our tents staring up at Mt Cotopaxi - our first real sighting. We start 'snow school' tomorrow. Everyone is healthy and spirits are high - we're loving the adventure. Our spanish phrase of the day is 'Me gusta mucho!' - I like it so much!"
