Tachypnea

Hi Guys!

Happy Canada Day (yesterday)!!! We have been BUSY since our last report. The day after Otavalo we took another day trip to Mindo in the north of Ecuador and in the CLOUDFOREST! It was beautiful and there was a LOT to do there - unfortunately though we only had about 4 hours to poke around. We spent most of that time ziplining from tree to tree! It was great fun and I really wish I could show you pictures but this computer isn't letting me. We had a pretty lazy night that night and a pretty lazy morning yesterday but at about noon we met up with my friend from med school Carolyn and adventured to the ecuator!! It was pretty touristy and apparently isn't even exactly on the mark but we had some fun taking pictures. After that it was back to the hostel to celebrate CANADA DAY!! The hostel has trivia night every Thursday and we thought that would be a pretty fun way to celebrate the night and we were right! We formed Team Canada with a couple other hostel goers and trivia-d the night away. Our favourite question had to be "If tachycardia is a fast heartrate - what is tachypnea?" woooo med question! Anyway we eneded up winning which was rather exciting beause the prize is a 50 dollar gift certificate to the hostel were heading to next! How convienant!

Anyway with that we are heading off the grid. We are travelling to Cotopaxi National Park where our hostel promises rustic luxury - what that means in Ecuador we will soon find out! Definintely no internet though so stay tuned next week for further updates!

We love you and miss you!
