Nestled between the foothills of one of the most active volcanoes on earth, Banos has stunning beauty. The weather is mostly in the 70’s and feels like the 80’s in the sun.
Tuesday morning, we hiked up the mountain behind Banos to a large statute of the Virgin Mary at the top. On the way up, we rested and meditated at five stations of Christ on the way to the cross. How appropriate the week before Holy Week. On the mountain trail down, we saw flowers, butterflies and views that were beyond words. So is the sunburn. The Ecuador sun is close to the equator so it burns quickly.
When we return to Riobamba later this morning, we will hopefully post a few photos. The internet here in Banos is very slow – it matches the relaxation and rest we are experiencing. Every time we come here, it is so hard to leave. Thank you God for these two days of wonderful rest and relaxation.
