Thanks all. Writing it was fun since I got to relive the adventure. I don't normally write much in my daily life and definitely not for myself, but I found with this report that I liked summing up the days as it helped me process and reflect what occurred.
Ok, back to wishful searching for DS bikes online...

Thanks for posting.
I enjoyed every picture and well crafted word.
And... your boots definitely look happier for having made the journey

Awesome pictures, looks like an amazing trip!
Reminded me (a bit) of my native Taiwan... green and mountainous, the opposite of where I am now

Thanks, Eric. Your Alaska trip was one of many that inspired me to get into ADVing.

So it turns out that the RAW image copies that my camera saved
did
contain color information. I just needed to open them in Photoshop to extract the color. So I guess i'm not the complete idiot I thought I was, still just only half of one.
Anyway, I wanted to prove the point that Ecuador is indeed a very colorful country, but without flooding the Official Post a Picture Thread:
Quilotoa Lake
Plaza San Francisco (Quito)
Mountains near Sigchos
Mountains just outside of Quito
Hills of Angamarca
Town of Salinas
Houses in Alluriquin
Lowlands on day 2 (forgot name of town)
My last Ecuadorian sunset; taken in Montanita

Burrito (the other kinda) in Salinas
Cattle in lowlands near Pucayacu
Chicken near Quilotoa Lake
Chimborazo
Donkey parked outside the Salinas cheese facility
Girl in Pucayacu market
Don Bosco school and furniture shop
Cow along the south coast highway. Even in the drought, very colorful.
Colorful laundry drying in Montanita
Looking down at roads leading to Angamarca
And of course, the $1 llama shot...in color!

...and this one is for Kopf. Typical scenery in Montanita:
Maybe it can make it into his rolodex for "avatar of the day"?

I'm glad you did the B&W pics first.
Kinda like a good dinner, then the color pics as dessert.
