Here are some pictures from over a week ago in Mindo, but be sure to check out the blog below I put up yesterday, because I´m probably not going to post for another week. (this stuff takes time!)
The restaurant we discovered at the very bottom of a 45 minute hike down the only foot path in 50 miles. 800 meters below the main road and in the middle of nowhere.
The waterfall that Stewart and I jumped off of. If you look closely you can see the rope you have to hold onto as you slide down to the edge trying not to slip.
The idiot in me forgot to bring chacos to Ecuador, and if you have ever worn leather sandals in the water, you know they don´t exactly hold your feet. So I jery-rigged straps to the back of these so I could take them rafting. Actually turned out alright.
Moss growing next to our table at the restaurant at the bottom of the gorge.
Mindo and the local guy who walks around town with his big green wagon.
How goods are transported in Mindo
Main street Mindo in the middle of rush hour
Here is a boy that hitched a ride on the back of our pickup truck as we climbed up the side of mountain in search of Al Roker.
The filming of the the Today Show. Notice the guy on the right is the chef from Alabama that works here and started the first catering buisness in Ecuador. He gave us a ride back to Quito.
Continued filming of the Today show. Here they have a traditional Ecuadorian band on the left, and they are doing a segment on how the first Panama hat was actually from Ecuador. But now the original company is so highly saught after, that the hats are too exspensive for most Ecuadorians to own at around 1000 USD. So they are exported...
