My girlfriend Betty is hours later still heartbroken over my loss. She had arrived just a couple days earlier from Peru and together we had come to the town of Banos, a three hour ride south of Quito. Banos is famous as a resort getaway both for its impressive setting surrounded by tall mountains on every side as well as its thermal baths.
We enjoyed the baths under a light, chilly drizzle. Although of course open to tourists most who were there were local families and their children. Set in two different large pools, the pea soup water gives off a steam faintly redolent of sulfur. We sat there for the better part of an hour rather quietly taking in the joy of kids splashing and reminiscing over the unfortunate shitty start of the trip.
