got into Mindo at nightfall...it's very dark at night
in the morning we walked almost 2 hours down a dirt road in the sun. then the questionable terabitia to get to the path to the waterfall..
from there it was about an hour of treacherous trekking
finally reached the reina..it's kind of a 2-parter
the slippery stairs carved out of a tree trunk go alongside the first half then when you get to the top you see this
we then changed into bathing suits and waded in. quite refreshing and vale la pena, we decided
late lunch, well-earned
it rains a lot in Mindo
so we took naps--rather they took naps, i watched the rain
margot and laney were there too so we taught pops and ben how to play cuarenta at a table outside their hostal by the river. then we slept for a few hours.
