This weekend, I went to the mountain-hippie-hotsprings town called Baños. By myself. I had a great time. Some pikturz:

this is what was in my backpack

delicious breakfast, a mess of eggs.

bike ride! get ready for lots of scenery photos

I stopped at a tarabita which is a tourist trap combined with a janky cable car-arrangement.

 

that bag is full of fried pork skins cut into sheets. YUMMMno

hahah ORAL. Nah this is actually for if there was a volcanic eruption and people needed to take shelter. 

see how the vegetation is changing? I was riding downhill into the jungle. I didn't make it or anything, but it was changing as I went down in altitude. 

self timer to show my joy. 

Cable cars, one thing you should not DIY

with ice cream

took a truck ride back up the mountain:

and I did some other stuff that day, too, but there was a lot of this.
