The river was too high for anyone to do the morning activities. So, naturally, everyone watched Ecuador play Switzerland in futbol. Pretty funny, because we were staying at Casa de Swizia (home of the Swiss). Sadly, Ecuador lost in the last 15 seconds of the game. Nuts! We had to rush down to the boat after lunch because the river had kept rising and would soon be too rough to travel. I am not quite convinced that we should have been on the river at all. It was wild! The water was so choppy, there were there were trees flying by, and the water was so high. There were multiple times that we were not even moving. But, we made it.
Then there was a nice long drive back to Quito. We took a different way back; through an Amazon mountain pass. With all of the rain there were multiple mud slides. Plus, the road was just ridiculous to begin with. I thought that since it was almost dark out that we were not making a stop at the hot springs. Katty totally surprised me though! It was such a nice pit stop. I think we were only there for two hours, but it was totally worth it.
Tearful goodbye :(
Until next year...
