Vho, Isabelle and I thought it would be a great idea to go horseback riding in Baños for 4 hours with a random Ecuadorian guy who was recommended by a woman who owns a restaurant and harassed us to write good things in her guest book. It started out well when our only instructions were left, right, stop, and vamos. My horse first decided to stop walking in order to eat garbage and then decided to stop in the middle of the street when trucks were coming at me from both directions...but, you know, you can´t expect things to go smoothly in South America. Apparently my horse and Isabelle´s horse didn´t get along too well, because any time they got close to each other they tried to bite each other and throw us off in the process. We probably should have been given helmets and riding lessons or something. Then we got to ride by amazing waterfalls and ended our trip up the side of a volcano, literally climbing up the remnants of the last lava flow. It was amazing!

That sounds like it should've end a much better way. Tell me the truth, Meghan, Vesquez the horse-boy made Ecuador worth it didn't he. :P
Hope you're having fun. <3
