As we were going to Loja we saw a number of homes on the side of the mountains.  I asked our driver how people got to them.  He said the walked or rode horse or donkey.  Well folks, that is out for this old woman!  Good grief, some of them are WAY up the side of a mountain, you have to cross a river and them climb for a LONG way just to get to the house.  God love them all, they are better people than I am to do that!
