Travel Updates

Reading: How We Are Hungry by Dave Eggers

What do you do when a friend from the states visits and you have some vacation days to use? Explore all of Ecuador!

So far this has included:

Hiking the rim of Quilotoa

Participating with the women of Paige's community in Inti Raymi,
traditional dress included

Spending 4th of July on a black sand beach and
eating way too much enconcado


Visiting the host family DIY gold mind

Learning how to make empanadas

Hiking up to Yacuviñay, the local Inca ruins outside of Paccha

I figure I should also include a video of Paige's community, Morochos from the Inti Raymi festival...



And now it’s time for a few tranquil, work-filled (yes, I do really have some form of work to do down here) days before sending Mary Rae back to the states. But not before a making a quick pit stop in Tena to see some monkey.
