Janurary 23rd- We leave for CoCo to fly to Quito

 We pack up to leave our Amazon adventure.  But as we go down the walk way, Celso has another surprise for us.  Dart guns that are about 6 or 7 feet long that is made out of iron wood.  This " little" gun is used with a poisonous dart.  we all shot for the target. You have to aim above the target and blow! I hit the target but it didn't stick and Sharon nailed it.

 

Onto the river and then to the airport for Quito

                                    Water has gone down and our dock is bsck

                                                    Dart gun- with no poisonous darts!

                                            Evelyn is trying her best.  This iron wood is heavy to lift.

                    WE say good bye to the Amazon village.

                                    Landing at COCO 

                                This how most of my friends feel like..Right Evelyn??

                            We visited Museo Etrohistorico de Artesanias del Ecuador 

                                Herbs and liquids to help the Shuman with healling

 

                        My lunch - a fish soup Ceviche which they put popcorn and plantan chips in

Thought this was a funny sight.

Celso surprised us by taking us to a chocolate tasting.  The purer the chocolate the more bitter it is.

Coco was found back as far as 3500BC in tombs

Ecuador is a big exporter of Coco- 95% export which is #5 on the list. 

Who doesn't like chocolate?
