Aquisito nomás!!


Siempre he sido un apasionado no practicante de los deportes extremos (es posible eso???) y en los últimos años he tratado de cambiar la situación, yendo a los lugares donde suele ser común la práctica de los mismos. Aunque no he hecho gran cosa aún, por algo se debe empezar. Esto motivó mi afán por conocer Mindo, un lugar turístico cerca de Quito, bueno cerca según ciertas personas, ahora me doy cuenta que el concepto de "cerca" es demasiado subjetivo.



La verdad es que nos embarcamos en el terminal de Cumandá en un bus de las 10:30, ya que no llegamos a tiempo al terminal de la cooperativa que va directo al lugar, cuyos buses parten a las 8 AM. El viaje hubiera resultado de lo más tedioso, de no ser por la buena conversa, una botella de zhumir y aquellos maravillosos artefactos que son indispensables para el moderno vivir, los ipods.



Una vez en el sitio, al cual llegamos a la 13:30 nada mas ni nada menos, entramos a un lugar a degustar uno de las especialidades del lugar, "el lomo a la piedra". Creo que me hice de expectativas un poco fantasiosas, al imaginar una piedra de una tonelada donde asaban trozos brutales de carne, y gente siendo resucitada luego de haberse atragantado con los mismos. En su lugar recibí un pedazo minúsculo de res encima de una piedra algo mas grande que una billetera :S



Luego de superado el shock de la comida, decidimos hacer regata, que en pocas palabras es navegar en boya rio abajo, fue bastante divertido pero no entraría en mi concepto de extremo (por cierto que el guía era el hombre duro del paseo, nosotros no hacíamos nada), la falla fue que según el guía, el río no estaba con su mayor afluencia. El paseo duró aproximadamente media hora tras la cual volvimos al pueblo completamente empapados, pero bastante mas relajados.



Lastimosamente el presupuesto y el tiempo nos falló para conocer los demás atractivos del lugar, pero vale la pena intertarlo en otra ocasión, eso si, en vehículo propio, si no quieren aplanar sus posaderas durante el "corto" viaje al "cercano" lugar :( .

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe
you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images.

Maybe you could space it out better?

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like
yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
