Mindo again!

We decided to go back to Mindo this weekend! This time we went to the mariposario to see butterflies! There were soooo many of them fluttering around! It is just amazing to see how perfectly they're designed. Some of the cocoons are shiny like gold so that they look like water droplets, and others look just like leaves! It was really peaceful and warm in there, and we even got to have some eat out of our hands. They love bananas. Check out the picture of them resting on the wall. They look like owl eyes! So amazing! 

We love the food in Mindo! Grilled corn with a mayonnaise spice sauce and parmesan cheese, quinoa burgers, homemade coffee ice-cream with the amazing brownie, arazá fruit milkshake, and a burrito!

Mike did some ziplining at the mirador! Great views and he loved it! He even did the Superman! While he did that, I took a little hike and breathed in the fresh air. To get there, we rode in the back of a pick-up truck at about 60 mph with a puppy at our feet! Yikes!

Of course, I found another cute kitty cat to pet, and we loved hanging out on the balcony at our hostel in the hammocks!

On the way home last night on the bus, everything was going fine until we got into Quito and a crazy motorcyclist decided to cut-off the bus. We ran over his motorcycle with the bus, and he rolled out of the way thank goodness! Crazy! Once we found out he was safe, we just went right on our way. Only in Ecuador...
