Cuenca!!

So this past weekend I went to Cuenca, about four hours away from Guayaquil. There were 18 of us girls a bus driver, tony, and Alvero (our tour guides). Everything was beautiful - the city, the landscapes, and the people. It was an ideal vacation spot. I'm not sure if I'd want to spend a long time there. There were a lot of natives and old school style things. It had the perfect mix of the old and the new it felt like. We visited markets, craft places, animal markets, and went on hikes!
There was a lot of driving and bumpy roads and walking, but in the end it was all worth it. My favorite part was on saturday morning when we climbed a mountain, I rock climbed to the top and saw alll of EVERYTHING. I was pretty much on top of the world. Sunday we did another hike for three hours and it was pretty awesome just to finish it. We ate lunch in a fairy tale forest that was awesome! Soo much happened. it was great!
