rafting.

Yesterday we hiked along a trail through the jungle, crossing rivers, covering ourselves in mud masks and swinging on vines. We saw the world's largest fresh water fish and swam beneath a waterfall. We visited a Quechua tribe and watched another traditional dance.

Today we finally rafted down the Pastaza River. I would hardly call it white water rafting - the water was so dirty brown. It was pretty cool though. Except when I fell in. That was pretty scary.

I also have pink eye. That made the rafting experience a little blurrier. I had to throw out my infected contacts, and I can't put new ones in for a few days. And I'm glad I didn't wear my glasses today. They would have been lost forever when I got tossed out and run over by our raft.

Tomorrow we're mountain biking before we head back to Quito.

I'll be home in four days.
