Another visitor!

Dan came out to visit /spoil me. We had a great time traveling around together and just enjoying being in the same country.Beaches, snorkeling, horses, community dances, birthday celebrations, spas, and hikes = lots of good memories!
Sushi bar, which worked out nicely since there wasnt any electricity in the city when we arrived. :/
Dan: weird how theres no music in this resturaunt.....haha
My host brother Joselo also couldn't wait for Dan´s visit. He had me send this picture to Dan before he came out to show him how excited he was to work on bikes with him.2 out of the 3 nights in my site, Dan and Joselo spent all evening fixing up bikes. My host brother couldnt have been happier, and Dan got lots of time to practice his Spanish heheCanoe ride in my siteThe lake Poza Honda
combo of Zoolander + gangster
We traveled around the southern part of Ecuador...Cuenca and Vilcabamba, which are BEAUTIFUL but requiered some long bus rides.beetles
Cuenca reminds me of a lovely little European city with its Spanish influence seen in the architecture. This is Dan in front of the broken bridge.

Trip to Vilcabamba
It is said that in Vilcabamba a.k.a. Valley of Longevity people live to 100 years-old. Some have have even reached the prime age of 135, which means Vilcabamba is home to some of the oldest people in the world...they say its in the water but we weren´t willing to risk the amibas. hehe
Stunning views
World´s largest aloe vera plants

Dan being artsy:)

Enjoying our patio in our cabana. Hammocks are glorious!

Beating Dan in pool ;)
After our game of pool, I actually got Dan up and salsa dancing....good times!
