First, I thought I would share some squiggly amp data. First, the track as SPOT saw us.

Now, convert that data and look at this graph. I love the fact that there are such extreme elevation changes in Ecuador. Not quite as dramatic as last time we rode, but this time we went from sea level to 14000 ft in about 60 miles. So for every mile, we gained 200 feet in elevation!

The other thing I wanted to highlight, was the Dogs of Ecuador. I teased Blaster that next time I will take a photo of every.single.dog. I think that might take me a whole year to repeat this same track

You know to look before you cross the road

Always walk in against traffic

Sometimes you taunt death

You somehow survive on desolate country roads
![[IMG]](https://blaster11.smugmug.com/Vacation/ECU16/ECUD7/i-b3gn5kM/L/L/GOPR3310.jpg)
You walk down the sidewalks
![[IMG]](https://blaster11.smugmug.com/Vacation/ECU16/ECUD7/i-rRs7j6H/L/L/GOPR3339.jpg)
You inspect all comers

![[IMG]](https://blaster11.smugmug.com/Vacation/ECU16/ECUD7/i-tmn9q3m/L/L/GOPR3456.jpg)
When you wake up, you calmly sit on the sidewalk as the "parade" goes by

This might have been the skinniest one we saw

When possible, you hang outside the eateries

Life may be rough, but alas, at least you've never been expected to carry more than your own weight

The weather is nice year round though
![[IMG]](https://blaster11.smugmug.com/Vacation/ECU16/ECUK/i-79kGdQ7/L/L/DSCN0645.jpg)
You marvel at humans and their trinkets

Occasionally, you find yourself "living the good life", but yet bound by shackles

Raise a toast to all the Ecuador canine brethren. Share the last morsels of the doggie bag
