more pictures!

here is a picture from the Bbash with our "dates" that we were so lucky to choose :) it was quite a surprise...and very clever :)
this is a picture of my dad making friends with a monkey at AmaZOOnico, a animal reserve...the only one in Ecuador! Aparently, these monkeys will grab your bags and take them up the trees with them! i guess some people have lost quite a few things from that!
this is me and my mom on the canoe to our Lodge...all of us always enjoyed these rides...they were on motorized canoes...all of the lodges had them to tote around all of the tourists

here is a pic of me and my parents at Hola Vida...you might recognize it from pictures at the beginning of my time here...it had changed quite a lot though because there had been a very large landslide! it was crazy to see how much it had changed in just a few months. i think my parents really liked it at here...its nice just to relax...and get up enough guts to swim under the waterfall to get pelted with water...its so crazy how so much power can come from a small waterfall, literally, in the middle of nowhere!

it was nice to have my parents here, i think they enjoyed Ecuador and getting to know the missionaries here! i think they were really suprsied at about how many people are acutally here!

only about one more month left until i go home for the summer...wow...it has flown by! it is crazy...but i love it here...if you want to come...i LOVE visitors!! :)
