Day 328 - Ipiales

March 24th
I only fished for a few minutes; then it started to rain. After the rain, the water was brown, and it made no sense even to try my luck.

Ursula cooked corn on the cob that a nearby farmer dropped off. It was so delicious!

The sweater that she started knitting two days ago was taking shape. All the crossword puzzles were solved. Letters were written too. It's raining again. We are feeling a little bored.

Gregor & Ellen’s camper was parked next to ours when we woke up this morning. They must have arrived late last night while we were asleep. We are glad and ready to continue our journey North with our new travel partners.

After breakfast, we headed in tandem toward the Colombian border. On the way there, we stopped at the post office in Ibarra to drop off the mail. Then Gregor needed to do a quick oil change.

Everything went smoothly exiting Ecuador. We were short on cash, exchanged traveler checks for Colombian Pesos, and camped near the border in the parking lot of a hotel.

Our cooking team prepared is preparing a fish stew for dinner. I can't wait!
