Trip to the Amazon (Part 2)

I forgot to mention in the last post that I made a new friend while at the lodge. His name is Toño. He is the cutest thing I´ve ever seen. Ever. We became friends while the group was away on their treck. Slowly but surely he started trusting me and started climbing all over me. He liked stealing our food, drinking our juice and eating grasshoppers. But I still loved him.

Anyways, Sunday morning we already had to leave the beautiful lodge. We went white water rafting that morning though and it was amazing! Scary at times, but lots of fun. When the guide would yell ¨inside!¨, we´d all have to croutch inside the raft and a wave of water would submerse us. We lost one once, she got caught in the wave. But she the guide quickly caught her and brought her back on the raft. When the water was calm, we could get off and float for a while. It was a very fun time! When we were done, we got on the bus and headed back to Quito where we stayed the night again. The next morning most of the group went to tour Quito while me and Janice met up with my friend whom I met during my exchange to Belgium 2 years ago. I hadn´t seen him since and it was really nice to meet up with him and catch up. He took us to the mall because Janice had to order contact lenses. Then we met up with the rest of the group for lunch. After we ate it was already time to head back to Cayambe. We got back here tired and achy but it was all worth it. We had a wonderful trip!
