the curse of Baños

We´re in Baños, a little town famous for its ecotourism and its thermal baths. Hence the name, Baños, which means thermal baths. But baño also means bathroom. Which brings me to the curse. Last time we tried to come here, after Salinas, I got so terribly sick (probably a virus, the kind you had when you were a kid that gave you diarrhea and a fever and made you puke). So we didn´t make it to Baños. We stayed in Guaranda, and then headed north. But I visited the baño plenty of times.

Now we´re actually in Baños, and Douglas has exactly what I had last week. Poor thing. He´s over the fever, and is on the mend. And here we are in Baños, always looking for the baños. sigh.
