Baños! and Waterfalls!












Our romantic dinner

















From the rooftop of our hostal

























sorry I would put more pictures its just too slow.

We are back at the beach after being up north In Quito and in the Andes,
We went to the Volcano in Baños you could hardly see it from all the fog but it´s the thought that counts right. Yesterday we rented a go-cart for 4 hours and went up through the mountains visiting different waterfalls in the area. They were beautiful. There was one we had to crawl through a small cave to get behind the dangerously rushing water(makes it sound more exciting ). The gocarting was also a blast. Aside from almost crashing, Aine was preocupied with something I was looking at. Just so happend to be an unexciting fruit stand. haha well atleast she recovered safely. I made her drive the whole way home for pracice.

Aine and I left the beach life for a while. Yesterday we got a bus to Riobamaba with Steven (a friend from Toronto). We were planing on doing the Devils Nose, still are, but when we got to the hostal we fliped on the tv and the news was talking about Iron Maiden Playing In Quito, the capital, only 3 and half hours away. We asked when it was....tomorrow...Tomorrow!! then we all were thinking it would be good concert to go and see. Not thinking we were going to go through with it because it was the day before and there were no tickets to buy. The next day we hopped on a$ 3.50 bus to Quito(ecuador has amarican currency since 2000, touchy subject) and bought some tickets and went to the show which was AWSOME!!!! not that they are my favouurite band but it was Iron maiden!!!!. I´d put a few videos but they take too long. But here are a few pictures for you all. O yeah I forgot about the Devils Nose I am Sure you would all like to know. It is a train ride going forward and backwards down a mountain, like a zigzag... thats not all... you ride on the top of the train the whole way...... if you are brave enough.
