Aqua blanca ,nature reservate in Mochillilla.

I booked  4 excursions at my spanish school La Lingua  in p.Lopez. today I liked the best.

The taxi and private guide brought me to Aqua Blanca about 10 km from Lopez. then a guide from there took over and showed me around,first 30 minutes in the imca museum,then a long walk ending at the sulphur round bath where all the people from this community bath daily  because it keeps  illness away. They offer a mud pack for 3 dollars,or you can put the mud on yourself. A beautiful serene ambiance where I enjoyed to relax. 70 percent of the communities income is shared among all the families  here.

Friday my 4 last hours Spanish lessons. After my fruit lunch I start  travelling to the mountains. No more sea baths nor  beautiful sunsets.

Spending the Night in jipijapa. Zipping  from a Brahma ☺ i hope my taxi does not  forget  me tomorrow morning at 06.30 to bring me to the bus to Guyaguill, from where I have planned to take the plane to Cuenca at 13.30, because I don't want to spend  10 hours in the bus on one day.

Buenos noches everybody.

Las Salinas

Today i started my third and last week at spanish school. This week i choose a school offering excursions during free time..... although i for the first time have to make homework today.  But luckily my fever is now as good as gone,after 11 days of ecuadorian INFLUENSA caused by a bad bacteria common here nowadays at the coast. I can tell you having a thick layer of mucus covering your air pipe is no fun. I would not have been surprised choking in it.

 My room at the school,like a home stay,with natural ventilation.

 Lopez beach. Lots of people from the cities during weekend. Lots of boats. Lots of birds above the sea and trees.

But anyway my first excursion I give a 5, but the English exercises during the tour give it a higher character,8 now.
Again not possible  to swim at this beach 10 minutes south of Lopez. Just see the waves!

In the way back to the main  road we saw many butterflies sitting together, probably drinking water. Those fotos come here tomorrow because right now Google does not offer them available to upload. Have no clue why this is.

So now only my voice is still lacking its normal volum. But after 4 days where I could only whisper  I am already happy with half a broken voice.
