As all great adventures start off, day two consisted of waking up bright and early and hitting the trails before any of us had complete sense of what was going on. From 6am until about 8:30 we scoured the trails all, with binoculars at hand searching for birds, snakes, monkeys and the infamous chupacabra. After our morning porridge and juice, we ventured off to a waterfall on a river where selfies were taken and wipeouts were experienced with an elegant poise. The lunch consisted of the daily catch, trout. Though the type of trout is unknown, the flavor was righteous.
Skipping ahead, after a three hour bus ride consisting of integrating American music into our tour guides mind, we reached the center of the earth where we lost 2.2 pounds each and learned about the history of Ecuador. Here, the llama and Hank Fang's eggselent balancing skills were the main events. Before dinner, we hit the streets in attempts of purchasing clothing that would allow us to blend in. Needless to say we did an impeccable job at achieving this feat. At the end of the day we all sat around a big table at our inn and talked about the day's events where nothing negative could be said about the fun filled day.
