MUNGO EATS Latin America

Aah, mountains!!  It has been a long time since we have seen “real” mountains.  We did see some snow covered volcanoes in Ecuador, but these look like real mountains, cliffs, snow, vegetation.  Okay, there are no spruce trees covering the slopes, but there is still vegetation.  

We went for a short walk today, just hiked along one of the ridges and then down to a river.  Two of the dogs from the lodge followed us on the walk.  Neither one of them like Mungo a great deal.  The female, I think her name is Princess, will just take a run at him,  squealing like she is being attacked.  She nips at him.  Poor Mungo, has no idea what he is doing wrong.  He has gotten to the point where he barely looks at her and still she rushes him, jaws snapping!!  Crazy chick! 

The land around the lodge is common land and you never know what you will find just around the next corner.  it could be people, cattle, donkeys, sheep or dogs.  Makes for an exciting walk.  The hills here is littered with boulders, some large, some small.  We had fun climbing around on these as well.   

The river was quite beautiful and we were thinking it would be a good place to have lunch, but unfortunately some biting flies had the same idea about us, so we were forced back up to higher ground. 

Oh well, the scenery was just as good. 

It’ll be really hard to drive back along the desert coast after spending time up here!
