Week 7

The experimental plot of guayusa we planted. I think it's more exciting than it looks

Late afternoon from the back of a pickup truck taxi

Sunset is weird in Ecuador

And really awesome for pictures.

With Nick (right of me), Cass (behind him), Carolyn (next to her), and one of the funniest Ecuadorians whose name I am forgetting, on the canoe en route to Carolyn's community

Into the Jungle

Chontachuros - a type of Gusano (worm in spanish- for those in Hanover this blew my mind to know that a restaurant is named after these), which are actually tasty when cooked over a fire in a palm leaf, and less tasty when grilled directly on the flame.

Jewelry made by the community

Busted water pipe-turned sprinkler

View overlooking a plot of banana trees

I stumbled upon this ecolodge paradise, it looks quite nice!
