I'm in Quito now, at The Magic Bean, a great hostal in the tourist area of town. I went with Abe and Carolina to the Papallacta Hot Springs on the way. What an awesome way to utilize a natural resource. Well done Ecuador.
On this adventure I saw the Upper Jondachi. What a world class run and a special place to see. I'll save the description. Go see it. It's worth it. I'm telling you. Come to Ecuador. It's worth it, I'm telling you. Hear are some highlights. Good times. Good people.
Also, the editor isn't working quite right. You might notice some pics are sideways. Alter your monitor for best viewing.

Hey Brett,
I hope you are doing alright re-adjusting to the Seattle life.
I just wanted to give a quick "Save the Jondachi" plug here. You probably know there is a dam proposed on the Upper Jondachi. This dam would effectively ruin both the Upper and Lower Jondachi, which you know is a tragedy from both a kayaking and an ecological perspective. There is a group working to save the Jondachi. It's called "Amigos Del Rio Jondachi." Right now, the best thing you and your friends can do is to buy some really cool Jondachi T-shirts--designed by Small World Adventures guides. They are $15 each and all the money goes to the Amigos Del Rio Jondachi fund to fight the dam. So rally your kayaking buddies and let me know how many you want:)
I'm coming back to Washington March 3rd and will bring the shirts back with me then.
Thanks for your support.
