Day Numero Tres:

Today we woke up and decided to say goodbye to Quito and headed out. On our journey out of Quito we made a pit stop in the middle of the world. Hello Equator! Standing in two places at once really emanated A Walk to Remember and being in two places at once. After taking all the touristy type of photos that nine people could think of, we decided to move towards the bug museum. I am very proud to say I held a Hercules Beetle. If an image of a massive bug developed in your mind, then you definitely just pictured the same bugs I held, yes plural too by the way. After another hour and half on the bus traveling on hair-pin turns, we graced Mindo, Ecuador with our lovely presence. When you think of a small, native town, then Mindo, Ecuador is it. We ventured out in small groups on our own to find lunch. Trying to communicate with people who have absolutely NO idea what you are saying is incredibly difficult. After lunch we had a workshop with fabulous Massimo Bassano, a National Geographic photographer who joined up with us, and then called it a night.
