Mindo

I forgot to write about Mindo! A couple weekends ago, I went to Mindo with some friends. Mindo is in the jungle and known for butterflies and hummingbirds. But we never even got time to look at those things...and we still had lots of fun!
We just left really early Saturday morning and stayed over that night. When we got there, we ate breakfast and then went to David's (one of my friends here) grandmom's house. She was making cañita, which is sugar cane juice. The process was so neat. She has this machine....
She puts the sugar cane in one side and then it just crushes it and pours the juice out into the strainer and container.
Then we went to a river to swim. It was a long ride there in the back of a truck, and then it was an even longer walk down to the river. But it was beautiful.
We spent the day at the river. Then we went to a cool little bar place with bar SWINGS! so cool!!! and got batidos de coco...coconut shakes...It was so much fun.
