Tungurahua Volcano

Shortly after arriving at Hacienda Manteles in the cloud forest near Ambato, Patate, and Banos, tne volcano Tungurahua popped.  No fire and lava like the fisrt week of February, but a lot of smoke.
Our stay at Hacienda Manteles was nice, though we cut it short by one day to come down to Cuenca. After hiking for about 3 hours on one of the two full days we were there, and spending another day in Banos with Fernando, the manager of the hacienda, we learmed that without our own transportation, this is a difficult place to be if younwant to explore off the mountainside.  But, our time there was terrific.  Am hoping I can learn to post some photos of our stay to this post, directly from my iPad and without downloading Picassa.
