tourism & mountain adventures.

Oh yeah adventure day yeahhhhh. 

This morning we traveled to THE MIDDLE OF THE WORLD.  That’s right, people, I spent time in both hemispheres at once this AM.  Tourism at its best.

Then, after a couple hours smashed between some of my roomies in the back of a sun colored van-bus, we arrived at Mindo to spend the afternoon flying through the wildlife of the mountains of Quito on 13 zip lines in the rain.  IT WAS SO FUN.  [Muy divertido!] I’ve been zip lining before, but words cannot even express how incredible this was.  On one of the longer zip lines, I got the chance to go “Mariposa” or butterfly.  I went upside down with the guide behind me holding my legs up in the air.  [sounds weird…but trust me, it wasn’t].  I SCREAMED SO LOUD.

As we do crazy funtivities, I can’t help but think, “Holy crap.  I live here.”  Not only did I get to spend this week with some pretty wonderful people doing crazy awesome things… I get to stay.
