george bush and monica lewinsky.

second day in Baños.
ok so this town is all about the outdoor connection.
we decided that a horse ride would be more in line with our level of physical fitness.
i was given a horse named george bush and ally rode on a slut known monica lewinsky.
george was a bastard, he insisted on always being leader of the pack and tried to bite me and monica a couple times.
we rode the horses through the outskirts of Baños looking like fools, trying to avoid getting hit by cars or running over the small children playing.
we finally got to "path" and slowly made it up to the foot of the volcano (george kept trying to snack which made him have to shit a lot; we lost a lot of time).
our guide (who we think was named "vito") was very interesting, he insisted we take pictures of the baby calves while the momma cow gave us terrifying looks and prepared to fucking charge, i´m also pretty sure he offered me 5000 us dollars to marry him for a greencard (he did say we wouldnt have to live together and we could divorce right away, what a gentleman).
then he lead us to a mini spa session, we drank mineral water that bubbled out of the ground and put on what was according to vito iron rich clay on our faces, he loved it.
we had to ride down a hill to a "cafe" which could only be reached by sitting in a metal chair that hung from a rope over a river canyon. for some reason they felt we needed better pictures so i ended getting pushed back and forth and couple times. the "cafe" was a big cement room with two chairs and $3 bottled water. we also had to climb up a tree house that was empty,we sat in there for a while till vito told us to come down.
the whole experience was like when you go to some lame party with people that don´t want to admit it´s lame. so they just keep trying to amp themselves up about anything, like coronas or journey songs............

we finally made it back from the tourist trap with our inner thighs ripped apart. we think it was the saddles, which looked like they were originally used for kid´s pony ride during the 19th century.

so yeah, we´re still sore.
