Black Sheep Inn, which we selected for the first night of our trip is an ecologically friendly lodge located at an altitude of 10,500 in the Andes.  The lodge provides three vegetarian meals, and we arrived 15 minutes before the family-style dinner.  William didn't feel up to eating so Burt, Evelyn and I sit down to meet some of the other guests and enjoy the dinner.  We start with a soup, then the staff brings out vegetarian stuffed eggplants and cole slaw which are surprisingly tasty.  William was very happy to be sick, so he didn't have to endure this meal!

After dinner we make our way back to our cabins with private bathroom/shower.  The adjoining cabins are at the highest altitude in the Inn, up a few hundred feet (and many stairs) from the main lodge.  They are rustic and cute, complete with pot-belly stoves for warming the cabin.  The bathrooms are equipped with compost toilets, but have running water for the shower and sink.  A poster is hung near the compost toilet explaining it's use.

We start a fire in the stove then crawl under the multiple layers of blankets.  Lights are out for us by 9:30 PM.

The shower in the morning is hot and feels good.  The view right outside the cabin is outstanding.  We enjoy breakfast in the lodge then explore the property.  I find the gym with homemade weights. Some of us regret that we don't have more time at the Black Sheep Inn, but we want to enjoy the Quilotoa Loop and make our way to Ambato before dinner.

Along the Loop we stop at Laguna Quilotoa as well as a number of other spots to enjoy the scenery and take photo's.
After lunching on roasted chicken in Latacunga we drive to Ambato and check into Hotel Roka Plaza, our home for the next five nights.  The hotel is delightful, filled with antiques and well decorated.  It has a very nice restaurant, which we try out on our first night.
