Butterflies, breakfast, beauty and booze


I couldn’t resist taking a picture of my little buddy. He landed on my arm, and didn’t want to get off. So what’s a girl to do? Why, set the camera’s timer and take its picture, of course.

.

You can buy just about anything at the market in Otovalo,so I figured it would’ve the perfect place to pick up a few prizes for the contest. This was not one of them.

On our way back from the Amazon, we stopped at Papallacta, where we enjoyed the pools, which are heated by volcanic activity. Unfortunately I did not plan ahead, so was unable to get a massage, but the time spent in the pools had a similar impact. Very relaxing!

And now time for more contest questions. We visited a sugar cane farm, where we saw how the cane is harvested, and boiled down to produce sugar products.

This particular farm had its very own still for making moonshine.

So, here are the questions.
1. Do you think they were giving out samples?
2. And if they were, who do you think gave it a try? Augusta, Mike, me?
3. And what are the odds that a half a bottle of this “demon rum” might make it back to the USA? Shelley

I am intensely curious, with a spirit of adventure that is tempered by my very strong aversion to anything with potential to cause pain. I love travel, photography, reading, gardening, yoga, music and propelling myself through space (biking, dancing, walking, dancing while walking). I've never considered a lack of proficiency in any of the previous activities to be a hindrance, counting on abundant enthusiasm to make up for my shortcomings.

  3. Okay – it is legal to make moonshine but not legal to buy it. I hear it smells pretty bad and doesn’t taste that good. They offered it and you all tried it.

  4. I think they did offer samples.
    I don’t think any of you tried the moonshine. I know I wouldn’t.
    Maybe you guys tried the sugar cane they were harvesting for sugar products. Even though I wouldn’t try the sugarcane used in the moonshine.
    I heard it’s very expensive to purchase the moonshine. They charge taxes, too!!! I don’t know about customs. I don’t think you’ll bring some home though.

    You must have had too much Moonshine. You seem to be growing out of this object and the hat on top, takes the cake!!!
