Ten days later, back in Ecuador

We flew back to Florida to spend Christmas with Christine's family, had a birthday party for Dd, met their two month old cousin Allie, opened up a lot of gifts, ate a lot of food, and flew back to Ecuador.

Our flight arrived at almost midnight so we stayed at the Holiday inn near the airport.

I had ordered another piece of luggage to carry all the stuff from Florida. The bag is large enough to be a sleeping bag for the kids.

We went back to CoDa Vista and unpacked all our stuff and found new places for the new stuff. I had bought some parts for the RV and set about checking the air filters which were still clean. I replaced the coolant reservoir which I had been meaning to change since San Diego. I think there might be a tiny crack because the level never goes above minimum even when I add more. I am hoping this helps cooling the engine more. 

I bought a AC battery charger for Sean and Nina who needed it for the 110 v countries that lay ahead for them. 

We met a couple new Germans in a mint green Defender. They have been on the road for a year and plan to be traveling for another year. They manage social media for customers to help pay for their expenses. They were heading north.

We decided to book a trip to the Ecuadorean Amazon this week and then visit the Galapagos and bought our airplane tickets.
