Today, for the first time in South America, I got to ride in the back of a pick-up truck! I travelled like this all of the time in Central America and I love it, but it's illegal here in Ecuador and Colombia.
With my final ride of the day, a delightful fella from Quito visiting a girlfriend, I arrived here in Tulcán. He took me to see the cemetery, which boats an interesting fusion of Christian headstones amongst huge hedgerows carved into figures from indigenous culture.
I ambled through the city, asking various people if I could put my tent up on various patches of ground, when I came across the fire station. The fire men were happy to have me! I was shown into their little gym room which was to become my home for the night. I even had access to a hot (not so common in Latin America) shower and my own bathroom. It was positively luxurious!
