Day One
I woke up sick. I was very sad because I wanted to travel to the east for all my life. But, my Ecuadorian mother, Maria del Pilar, I speak with Tania and Nataly, and I found a way to go the next day.

Day Two
When I arrived at the hostel for the fall with my fellow passengers, I learned that I go in a van with 8 European Ecuadorian and a driver. I was wrong on a chair between the driver and a man from England. It was an experience. Speak Spanish with the driver because it was too weird. He has traveled to England Husquila before, but can not speak Spanish fluently anything. under way, police stopped cars to check on us, it took too long. I'm afraid of these police actions because it means that there will be more police control. I arrive in time for lunch and then went to a presentation of Quechua people. We greet you with traditional face painting. we learned about the music, dancing, a shaman, and drinks. The traditional dress clothes seems like the day of the mills of the United States, simple yet powerful. The dance had a lot of weight, but this in the "up beats" instead of the more traditional "down beats." Life there is simple in every way. However, I wonder about the local youths and how they live. After dinner we played "monopoly," my favorite. The landscape is liadísimo to Husquila.

Day Three
This was the better day. I saw my friends, animals of the jungle. We had a canoe trip up the Napo River towards downtown recastre animals. Along the trail you see nature and poverty of the area. Happy children, but poor play in the river / old canoes on the River. The center is fantastic. Our guide taught us about animals that were abused or had pets. Wild animals should not be pets, never works. His blood is not blood from a kitten, is more like a lion. I love the anaconda. After swimming in the river, there were plenty of mosquitoes. Two local children played with the group. They enjoyed the attention of grown-ups. our museum guide showed us a false trap. primitive traps seem to be effective. Also, the snakes in jars were great. However, during this time the arms and legs felt like they were burning stings. When he showed us houses typical Quechua I feel strange. It's like people are in a zoo and all the gringos went to her. Tena dinner was disappointing in comparison to more trips in Kalamazoo and a further comparison Hostaria

Day Four
The time Jumando Caverns was too short because the volcano Reventador, was active. I hope the weather outside longer. the caves are magical. dark, damp rooms within the earth that provide water for the community. then we went to a cave pool water. It was clean, fresh and fun. There was plenty of Ecuadorian people. But women were not hidden estadunise. I love the east, the trees, the sounds, the weather. This trip was my favorite.
