As Becca mentioned in her blog we went up the mountain yesterday to the town of Baños. I always enjoy going there, as the people, land, weather, etc. are so different than what we are used to in Shell. As the crow flies Baños is only about 30 miles away, or about a 50 minute drive. The topography never disappoints, and the Andes Mountains are always so fun to look at.
Both of these pictures are taken from the same spot. The one above looking east towards lowering terrain and Shell, the one below looking west towards Baños towards rising terrain. Note how the picture above is slowly becoming jungly and the picture below is loosing it's jungle look for more of a typical Andean grassland. We always enjoy the various zones of flora that we drive through as we drive up or down in elevation here in Ecuador.
