This past weekend we went to Montañita, its a town on the coast and it was awesome. We didn't see the sun, sadly, but it was still pretty warm. Its a town full of hippies who just hang out all day and sell the jewlery that they make and then at night the town is hoppin', and I mean they don't go to bed until like 6am. Haha that didn't work for me, I was in bed by 1:30 both nights. But I came away with some great jewlery and some new extenstions in my hair. They are cool, basically hemp and beads wrapped around my hair, I like them, we'll see how long they last.
Anyway, on with the photos!
The awesome banner hanging in the middle of montañita
Our little hut on the ocean!
View of the pacific from our hostal
More of the town
Night life!
Really great fruit and veggie market in Cuenca
We went to a market to see a spiritual cleansing that the local women do with medicinal plants, pretty cool.
Then we tried our own healing in my indigenous culture class!
"Stop, don't shoot, I'm a student" the graffitti here is pretty cool
This was our view on the way to the beach, we were above the clouds.
cold camping!!!
LLamas! They were about 20 ft away from our tents, pretty funny.
View from camp site in Cajas
Haha frozen campers.
More cajasWell I guess that's all I have for now, it takes forever to upload pictures onto the computers here, so I have more, but I don't have the time.
On wednesday morning we leave for the Jungle!! We will be gone wednesday-sunday. It's going to be crazy. They say we are sleeping in communal rooms or "ecological huts" which I took to mean underneath trees. Haha but we'll see, it's going to be a change, but a really good one!
After that trip marks the half way point for my trip! Its going by fast, before I know it I'll be home, broke and ready to start the school year!
Hope you all are well, let me know whats new...send me an email! I don't always have time to respond but I love to read them anyway.
Love you all!
besitos,

linds your pictures were great (oh and thanks for the fbook love), but I want to see one of the hair extensions please :-)
Love the pictures and the awesome walk above the clouds. Your camping experience brought back memories of slick mud and sliding all the way down the hill in one of Canada's campgrounds -- right into the center of the pavillion filled with campers. What an entrance! Graceful as always!
We are enjoying 105 degree weather down to 69 degrees. Typical Minnesota summer.
Can't wait until you're back home and I can see those fancy hair extensions and listen to all your stories. If you can, bring a rock back to me and the story that goes along with it. I'll add it to my collection. The last one I got was from Fr. Pat when he went to Guatemala. And, what a story that accompanies that rock! I'll tell you all about it when you come over. Bring Dan!
Love you much.
God Bless and keep you safe.

Hi Linds,
I agree with Megan-must have a picture of your hair extensions!! Seems like the place for hippies to go :) I loved the camping picture-the smiles!! With all those pearly whites showing I almost had to put on sunglasses. It looked like out type of camping. I remember we went one time, I was pregnant with Cassie, Lori and Scott met us at the camp and it rained and rained and rained-the most they had seen in YEARS!!! Lori and Scott's tent blew over, the floor of our tent was like a water bed with all the water that was UNDER the tent! We tried to drive to town to get a hotel and there was no room at the inn-that is usually how our camping experiences go-that is why I prefer HOTELS!! Hope you got a chuckle!! I love you!! God Bless and Keep you SAfe!!
Love, Dale, SAndy, Cassie DTD
when you say hippies to do you mean your garden variety ex-pat hippie or native hippies? either way, Montanita sounds like an interesting place definitely worth spending some time to enjoy and explore....actually sounds a lot like quite a few little coast/port towns i happened across in tanzania and zanzibar. funny what a sandy butt crack and a little ocean water can do for the soul. anywho, i'll stop rambling now...miss you, love you, blah blah blah, and keep having fun!
sparkles.
