Guys Weekend

Some had Cabins, Others Tents

Hammock City

About two weeks ago, we had our annual guys trip. Every year, the teachers from our school get together and plan some sort of trip. Last year we took a big bus all the way down to the beach and hung out there for a few days. This year we decided to stay a little closer to home and go to the town of Banos.

Bonding in the Woods

Banos is one of the more famous areas in Ecuador, and one that I had heard a lot about but hadn't been to yet. It is supposed to be famous for its outdoor adventure activities such as zip lining and white water rafting. Well, there were plans for all of that but due to my feeling sick (refer to the moldy apartment post if you want to know why) and a releasing of the river's dam leading to murky water, none of that happened.

So Many Lawn Games

Instead, we drove down on our bus and got to our little cabin areas where we proceeded to spend the rest of the weekend grilling, playing lawn games, reading, sleeping in hammocks, and generally enjoying each others company. At night, we went into the towns to see the restaurants and the town itself, but it was a very low key and relaxing weekend all in all.
