Thoughts of Jumping...Today we spent about 8 or 9 hours on the road. In Ecuador, everything moves so slow. The drive was probably only about 200 miles at the most. Factor in the poor roads, the mountains, and stopping for lunch -- you can see why it takes so long to get from here to there in this country. We stopped for lunch in Baños de Ambato. Ate at a place called Café Hood (where the food is good) and then roamed around the city for a bit. It was a nice feeling to walk around and not necessarily have to think about what assignment we were needing to finish.
The rest of the bus ride cut through the Andes and our group watched a couple of movies during the trip.
We finally arrived in Puyo and had horrible Chinese food for dinner. Billy (one of the guys on the trip) seemed to really like this food however. Our place we are staying at tonight is really cool -- I am definitely starting to feel like we are in the jungle -- lots of palm trees, bugs, and interesting flowers.
