Last day in the jungle

Bittersweet leaving the jungle, the friends who went with us were an absolute joy to travel with, so enthusiastic about everything and fun folks. Our guides, both driver and boat guide were very interesting people and loved to hear their stories. The last day we awoke to sprinkle and it stayed thruout the morning. We finally had to wear our rain ponchos on the boat trip back to the van. 

The little porch on the "matrimonio" cottage,  where we spent a lot of time in the evening.

Beautiful little setting,  could have spent more time, but we were all ready to head back to the beach.

The trip, which included driver from Quito, lodging along the way, and the three days in the jungle was around $500 per person, what an amazing adventure. Thanks Mom!

Wildlife we saw on the way home.  We stopped at a hotspring on our way back to Quito, much needed for our tired bodies. And saw such beautiful scenery as we went back up thru rain forest and cloud forest and then back down again into the valley of Quito. This little countey never ceases to amaze me...so stay tuned, the adventure continues!
