It's like boats down a river...

...Driving that is. Lines on the road are only a suggestion. Passing three cars at once on a two way road is the norm. Also, the horn is used very frequently. All things that create memorable driving experiences!

Friday

Drove out of the city to Milagro to visit a church that has grown to 3,000 people. Had lunch with a very energetic family out in the "jungle." We had great authentic Ecuadorian food, played drums, danced, laughed a lot, and of course sweated! They lived on the same road that we get our Bonita bananas!

Saturday

Hiked to the top of a castle that gave us a panoramic view of the city. Brady's water cup fell over the side crashing at the bottom about 100 feet below! Good thing we had him strapped into his carrier!
Tired and exhausted we came back home only to be invited to someone else's house for swimming and bbq.  He had a gorgeous mansion with a big swimming pool, soccer field, tennis court, bbq patio overlooking the river. It was very refreshing!

Sunday
The kiddos are sick. I'm afraid Brady shared his germs. We went to church. Didn't quite understand it as it was all in Spanish. We spent the rest of the day recouping as we all found ourselves exhausted.
