Mindo

Hey everyone!

Sorry it's taken me awhile to post something. I'm starting to get a lot of homework. The weekend before last,   (9/14) my friends Cari, Julie, Jesse, Arturo and I went to Mindo. Mindo is a little tourist town that has adventurous things to do. We left for Mindo at about 6:30 in the morning. And before I knew it then, I had already been ripped off. We all met at the Rio Coca bus station, and my taxi driver charged me four dollars. It should only take $2.50- 3 to get there from my house. But he jacked up his meter and I was running late so I didn't care. So I gave him a ten, and in exchange, he gave me a dollar coin and a FAKE FIVE. I paid 9 dollars to get to Rio Coca! So that was kind of upsetting. Anyway-- we arrived in Mindo about an hour and a half later. We had a great hostel, Casa de Cecilia.




Since we had the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted, we decided to go ziplining. It cost $15 and had 13 lines. We were able to do some crazy poses!

Crazy taxi ride in the back of a truck!

The next morning we went on a five/ six mile hike! it was exhausting but completely worth it. There was one area were you could jump off a forty meter cliff into a river, and Julie and the boys did it! There was absolutely no way I was about to do it... so I got some good pictures :)
