Entries about flying

Crossed the Equator three times!

Felt up some furry walls at market in Otavalo and was given a furry bed at a horsefarm for two nights...

We happened upon an indigenous feria in the middle of northern highlands indigenous teams championship... I asked if T.L. might be able to practice with some of the players, they threw him a jersey and let him play... in front of a few thousand people...(T.L.'s the one without the long black braid)

We played the 7 dwarves all week with 2 Canadians, 2 Belgians and our Maestro (Doc), at the Tungurahua Tea Room, our WWOOFing site in Banos.

We flew... across a gorge and waterfall outside of Banos

Flying!

Stayed at an Ashram with the Hare Krishnas in Tumbaco, outside of Quito.

Surfed these couches...

Played with monkeys...rather, the monkeys played with us, and stole our things.

Otter

Had and defeated parasites...

3 pills+$2.80+2 days=0 parasites

Climbed in, down, up and around a crater lake in Quilotoa.

2 miles wide, 820 feet deep

formed during an enormous eruption 800 years ago in which lava flows reached the Pacific

The trail around the crater rim, Ecuador's version of the knife edge

Got jacked up on IV fluid after dehydration set in from a nasty intestinal bacterial infection...

Went to the beach and learned to surf... at least T.L. did!
"tres por un dolar!" the kids chanted

Ate many deliciously cheap meals...

large, delicious pork lunch=$2

Markets, markets, more markets...

Climbed the clocktowers of Quito's awesome Basilica!

We're currently both in good health and couchsurfing with a Peace Corps volunteer in the campo outside of San Isidro, and still have a few weeks in Ecuador to go!
