Our ride to the bus station arrived shortly after breakfast on Thursday November 3rd.

We loaded all of our luggage in the van and headed to the station.

Quito!!!

When we arrived at the bus station 🚌 some gentlemen came out with a couple of giant dollies to transport all of our luggage to the bus.

Luckily we got some seats right up front.
We had an 8 hour ride ahead of us.

We were riding through the mountains. The very hilly and winding roads caused @inokalrutz and the girls to experience some motion sickness.

Qiqi moved sets to sit with her daddy @quinneaker and fell asleep 😴 shortly after.

The ride was absolutely beautiful, I had never seen such beautiful country!

About 5 hours into the trip @inokalrutz voiced some concerns about leaking fluid and having contractions.

For the next 3 hours @quinneaker sat so present with her, massaging her and mentally coaching her. She stayed very calm and took lots of deep breaths
