The Drive


Like I said, beautiful!!! Even though the three and a half hour drive was full of near death experiences (nothing in particular just every car/bus/plane ride is a white knuckle experience) it may have been one of the most incredible drives I've ever taken.









At one point we drove through the clouds to a rest area where we grabbed a snack and stopped to check out the view. Their was a small farm there where we had the honor of stumbling across this huge pig, unfortunately he will most likely be served as lunch there later in the week :(




Guava anyone?? This is not your typical guava, a lot less delicious actually but all part of the experience. They look like enormous green beans and could actually be used as a weapon if needs be. Inside the bean like shell is the soft white fruit (almost marshmallowy) that covers a rather large black seed. Fruit is in abundance here, while the papayas don't measure up to Hawaii's the mangoes are awesome!!!



Guayaquil (where we are now) has been our least favorite place so far but we did get to check out the Iguana park and enjoy a delicious meal with the locals (pictures to come) . Even though the experience has been great and memorable I am starting to count down the days until I'm back in my own clean bed. I could however get used to the no working thing, much needed and appreciated :) We are taking our last in country flight today back to Quito for the last several shows. Stay tuned for our final adventures.
