Waterfalls & more Waterfalls

Tuesday was a busy day with the emphasis on the Adventure portion of the Compassion Ecuador Adventure Tour!  The day began with a tour of Andes Mountains waterfalls!  We have limited time so here's some quick photos.

Our first stop was a view of the volcano.  Sorry, cannot figure out how to rotate the picture at the moment.  Oh well.

Dylan took this shot from behind a waterfall after walking and crawling along a very wet rock face to do so!  It was a highlight of the trip for him!  His dad decided he didn't want to get that wet.

Another more distant view of the waterfall.

We took a cable car ride to get close to these twin falls.

Some of the many varieties of wild orchilds found in the Andes mountains.  Ecuador also exports roses which are very inexpensive here - $2 a dozen.  They put them on your pillow at the Swiss Hotel.

That's the cable car approaching the twin falls.

Sorry for the brief photos and captions.  Will write more as time permits!
