Rest day , changed hotels.....in the afternoon we ckecked out some attractions on the Mountain behind us....a swing out over the abys, a walkway which we were to afraid to try and watched an 8 year old overcome his fears and walk the walk as if he was born on a tightrope.
In the morning I rode over to Posada de Arte a place I have stayed in the past...to see if any Freedom Riders were there. Yes, 3 young men from The Check Republic....had a chat with them ...then sat and had coffee with Mike a chap from Colorado who had been travelling the world for 27 years .....and in the past few years settled here in Banos. He lost feeling in his one hand and could no longer ride his motorcycle. He told me he had visited with his motorcycle 52 countries.....He was 47 when his wife died...decided then that life was too short....sold his 2 silcone valley companies...told his children he was spending their inheritance and hit the road.
Before parting company he gave me a list of places in the Amazon to check out....that is our plan tomorrow.
