Baños: the Chiva bus
Baños day 3.
took the "Chiva" (bus) up to the gigantic volcano which towers over Baños to see lava & sparks with are apparently constantly coming out. as usual accompanied by thumping reggaeton music the whole way which induces a real party atmosphere.
when we got there it was so dark that i couldnt even tell where the volcano was! we did however get a free and rather large shot of tequila & hot canela, which has its own volcanic effect. There were fire shows, hamburgers and a good view over Baños city, never quite knowing how close you can get to the edge of the mountain due to darkness. then we all sat on the roof of the bus on the way back down, occasionaly ducking power lines and branches, it was a blast.

hola, muchas gracias por tu mensaje. por cierto tu ingles esta muy bien.
a ser honesto solo puedo mirar con mis propios ojos porque son los unicos ojos que tengo,y intentare a contar la historia como lo veo, cosas buenas o cosas malas,porque eso es lo que a mi me habria gustado saber antes de venir. pero he embarcado en esta viaje con un mente abierto. y aunque la naturaleza es lo que atrae la mayoria de turistas, la gente es la que he venido a ver y a conocer. y veo que aunque hay pobreza , ustedes son ua gente muy rico de cultura y belleza y de lo que he experienciado, una gente amable que tratan a los demas com iguales. espèro que mi espanol no me ha fallado jeje. planeo ir a la costa . gracias por leer. matt
I got out my Spanish dictionary to find out what you guys were talking about but it took too long so now I've signed up for Spanish lessons ha ha!
Be careful on them busses!
I don't even want to hear the words 'chicken' or 'pig' ever again.
