lindo mindo

We went to Mindo (mean-dough) this weekend for a little getaway, as one of the teachers at my school owns an inn there and was going to have a Thanksgiving dinner. Mindo is a small town in the cloud forest, which is similar to the rain forest except the elevation is too high to have all the rain and humidity. We went zip-lining--yes, yours truly who is afraid of heights went zip-lining and had a blast! I promise to have a pic of that soon--my friend has them on her camera. The next day we went to a butterfly/orchid/hummingbird garden, where we saw at least twenty hummingbirds and more beautiful butterflies than I have ever seen. We leave Thursday for the beach in Peru, so more pics will follow soon!
