Saraguro

In an effort to get caught up, I am putting in this entry from Saraguro, itself. We went to the bus depot (terminal terrestre) in Cuenca and found the area where we thought that we might get a bus to Saraguro and were told that the next bus wasn´t until 6pm. We said that we wanted to go now (10am) and were pointed to a bus on the ramp waiting to go. Apparently the bus we approached first was a classy bus and we were now going on the regular bus with the locals. Once again there was great scenery as we went up and down the Andes, through passes and down, down into river valleys. Dropped at Saraguro, we found the hostal in the book (lonely planet and Footprint) and settled in. Not a really high standard but the operators are a friendly family. Joy is feeling a little öff her feed¨so I will save more about this magic place for next time.
