What a fun day! We had an early start again (much to our chagrin), but it was well worth it. After a couple hours, we arrived to the rain forest area northwest of Quito called Mindo. We had to get off the bus and board camionetas just to get back to "the canopy". There, we enjoyed a course of 13 ziplines, which were scary at first for some and really fun for all by the end. Even Sondra got into doing the tricks, like Superman and the Mariposa. For those, we got to zip along with the support of a guide, so we could basically be flying along upside-down or just like Superman. As we went, we got to enjoy the beautiful view of the lush mountains beneath.
Then, we went on a hike to see several cascadas, which were also muy lindas. For a while, part of the group went off on its own, but we all ended up together soon enough. Then we really climbed into the falls. In that process, some may have become more mojados than what they wanted, but nobody ended up with hypothermia in the heat. All that hiking and heat reminded many of us of girls´ camp days, so of course we started singing those songs, too. Plus we were able to keep enjoying the great views. It was another reminder of the love of our Savior to create such an amazing world for us and a fun way to terminar our great adventures in Ecuador.
