Last month, my brother Richard, my cousin Elkin, and I went on a road trip to Cuenca. We had been planning it for two months ago because we wanted to visit the city and enjoy the views.

We left home early in the morning on Friday. Richard had filled the tank the night before, and Elkin had been packing snacks since Friday. The sky was clear, and we were feeling great.

After we had been driving for three hours, something random happened in Alausi a group of goats blocked the road! One goat stood still in front of the car, and we could not stop laughing. A man finally moved them, and we continued driving.

Then, we saw a big sign Road Closed – Bridge Under Repair. We were shocked. We had checked the map, but it had not shown any problem. We tried to find another way, but all the roads were closed or too far.

So, we had to turn back. We were really disappointed because we had been looking forward to this trip.

In the end, we could not reach Cuenca, but we still had fun together. We stopped in a small village that I do not remember the name, had lunch, and laughed about the goats. Not the day we expected but one we will always remember.
