Padma and I lived in Cali, Colombia in 1994. My mother visited us and we took a roadtrip to Ecuador during Padma’s summer holiday. I didn’t keep a journal and never wrote about the trip. Just some photos and a few scattered memories remain.

We visited Otavalo, the Middle of the Earth equator monument, Quito and Riobamba. In Riobamba we watched an evening parade and then visited the weekly outdoor horse market.

We circled Volcan Chimborazo and came home. We travelled about 2,000 km in a beat up old Suzuki jeep.
