Baños or El Baño?

Ok, quick update: Arrived in Baños around 8 PM last night. It was a four hour bus ride with people (Ecuadorians) standing in the aisle the whole time. Ate at an AMAZING restuaraunt called Cafe Hood. Found our hostal...Hostal Translyvania and it was actually a lot better than I had imagined. There were however, sleeping dogs in random corners and a rabbit! It just hopped around everywhere. Anyway, after finding our rooms, Katie and I met these guys in the room next to hers and mine. Total Hippies. One is from ARKANSAS! Mom, I told him about our tramatic experience a few years back. He told us we just went through the bad parts. The other one is from Texas and they are just traveling around Ecuador, working on farms and loving life. Marshall and I had a good conversation about LOVE. "I Just Love LOVE!" haha. They are an adventure in themselves. We basically went on a bar crawl around downtown Baños with them and it was a blast. They also taught me some pretty sweet dance moves. Remind me to show them to you all when I return. We were supposed to go rafting this morning but last night a bunch of us decided to go mountain biking to see the waterfalls so we are doing that instead. Ok I just wanted to update fast before I forgot anything. Oh yea, they have wi fi at our hostal. I just learned last night that the "fi" means FIBEROPTIC. Oh yea we talked about Google, me eating a huge american sandwich, Julia´s liter of beer and Alfarin´s chuchaqui phrases last night at dinner. I will elaborate on these later. LOVE LOVE LOVE BAÑOS!!

HASTA LUEGO!
BJ and Mom, I am being safe!! :)

  1. Hey Hil, What fun! Thanks for letting us tag along on your great adventure. PaPa and I enjoy reading about everyone. It's like reading a good book, can't wait for the next chapter. You are ranking right up there with Jodi. I won't tell you to have a good time, cause that's obvious. Take care, and stay safe. Love from, Nan & PaPa
