Yoni Went Hiking

On sunday, Yoni, Pablo, Gissela, and Gabriel when off to climb a mountain, but Hanne did not come, becuase Hanne does not want to DIE from exhaustion and lack of oxygen due to the ridiculous altitude=).
The mountain is called Uncuy (I have no idea if that is spelled right), and we (this is Yoni talking) walked right up it, starting from our house. It is about 3500m tall (thats about 1000ft shorter than Mt. Ranier, if my bad spanish got the hight right) and was a rather interesting hike, once even climbing right up the slope of the mountain without a trail (the expression in spanish translates to: to climb like a spider). But we made it, and the veiw was (obviously) incredible. Oh, and it was cold up there, for some reason.

Puablo and Gissela with Ecuadorian bananas. Carried by Yoni to the top of the mountain. (Although Paublo had the oranges)


For some reasons there was a cross at the top of the mountain, that Gabriel felt the need to climb.



All of us, by the cross.



All of us again, minus the cross. Still reveling in our glory



Here´s a picture of our house. It´s the orange one, about five blocks to the left of the big green shopping center. Can´t you see it?


Yoni, Paublo and Gissela become gorillas and join the FARC. Didn´t you wonder what we were really doing in Ecuador?


Walking down. Mira, a trail. (I was too tired to take these pictures on the way up)




Yoni´s attempt at an artistic photo. Note the pigs and the taxi


Gabriel walking in the street, which is really what half of the trail to the mountain was, though this one was paved at this point.
