Black Sheep Inn and Lake Quilotoa Part 1

We took a million pictures and I'm gonna try and post a lot of them. It was just so cool. So many mountains that fell into valleys that then became plateaus... and all of it was being farmed. Sideways farms are all over Ecuador but here you could see them for miles.
Gillian took so many pictures of farm animals. This one sheep however has a story to tell. They tied him up away from his mom and he cried all day and then all night and then all the next morning until they moved him. The screams sounded more and more human as time went on. It made Gillian quite sad.
Farm house on a plateau made entirely of grass and things.
Cool canyon also made entirely of grass and things.

View from the pot. They had the most exquisite composting toilets at the Black Sheep Inn. I think the little garden made a big difference with the smell. Apart from cool toilets they had a sauna, hot tub, 9 holes of frisbee golf, a ZIP LINE, water slide, yoga room, enough equipment for a whole rock band to jam, and all the other cool things that come with a good hostel like internet and book exchanges. Oh ya and the cooking was vegetarianly amazing. Thanks for the recommendation Erin!
