Banos

August 17th-19th

Well I can't exactly, or nearly, say that I was in love with banos.

Things I didn't like about banos:
-super touristy
-obnoxious "party buses" that would cruise around town blasting annoying music with strobe lights on at all hours of the day

-very touristy
-A cafe who charged Hannah $4.50 for "nachos" which were really just doritos
-touristy
-the bus ride back from the waterfalls (we had to take one of the infamous party buses)
-The "thermal baths" which banos was known for ... a beautiful natural bath? Or a community sess-pool (see picture below)

-the starving limping dog sitting outside of a bar
-Did I mention that banos was touristy?

Things I liked about banos:
-The bike ride to the waterfalls (which made all of the bad things about banos better!)



-The main church in the city at night

-buying the starving dog a hamburger and watching her eat it
-leaving Banos for Cuenca!

Oh don't worry ... Banos was fine - it was just not my favorite place of the trip. The bike to the waterfalls that we went on today (18th) was really beautiful and fun. I can't say besides that that I will miss Banos!
