this past weekend we went to Mindo, a little town about two hours west of Quito. it is a super chill town and although it is literally one road, there is lots to do there. we got there saturday around 10am and immediately went to "the canopy" for ziplinig. the views were amazing...a mix of mountains and jungle and we did tricks such as la mariposa and the superman. i will post pictures soon, but check out this site for pictures of what we did.
after lunch, danielle, sydney and i walked to the butterfly garden and on the way back to the hostal, we stopped at a bakery for coffee and treats. as we were sitting there, i happened to look up and see zac coventry (a guy i knew from college) just walking down the street. i knew he was doing peace corps in ecuador, but i had no idea where... such a small world! it was fun to see a familiar face.
the next morning we went on a hike up a mountain to this waterfall where several of us jumped off a considerably high cliff. it was bangin. i didn't have my camera, but here is a video of exactly what we did.
although i felt exhausted and sore today, Mindo was a great discovery... a perfect weekend retreat from the city.

oh wow. helen keller quote. can't wait to jump off a cliff with you!
did you just say "bangin"?
who are you?
i've picked up some new vocabulary here... in spanish and english. you should definitely start using "bangin."
I hope you didn't do that upside down spread eagle pose on your zipline. And if you did, I hope you at least got the guys number.
