Language of Ecuadorians:
One honk-Hey, Hola Amigo
Two honks-move, coming up fast, need a ride?, boo, look at those whities!!
Hand swivel-no room sorry
Hand down-need a ride please
Two honks-life is better when you honk all the time
Sometimes I feel like I´m back in New York City. Ecuadorians love their horns for good and bad situations and they are crazy drivers. One taxi we took they stuck us in the back of the truck and procedded to go over 70 mph. That was by far the scariest moment we have had with vehicles so far. I jumped out of that truck as fast as I could, even Nic was glad it was such a short ride.
This is our last week with Marco and his family in the Amazon. Its kind of sad but I´m ready for something new, so is Nic. We did have a small break in Baños which was really nice. We walked around and found our new favorite gringo spot, Casa Hood. We ate garlic bread for a buck, I had a salad with half an avocado in it, and Nic had this amazing Almuerzo, which is a set lunch you can buy. They offer almuerzos everywhere for 2 or 3 and it includes soup, juice, a dish mostly chicken, and a dessert. A ton of food for not very much. Casa Hood also had a really great book exchange. After a quick walk we went and treated ourselves to a massage and facial. An hour and 15 min for $20. Well worth every every penny.
Thinking of everyone lots
more photos soon, maybe tonight.
