Hey Y`all, Skyler and Justin here with your Sunday Funday Blog. It`s day 8, and on day 8 we don’t hate. A majority of the group woke up at 6:45, but a few (Hojoon, Skyler and Sage) woke up at 5 for a little run around the city with Tony. Breakfast was pineapple and an empanada and juice that was orange.
After Breakfast we gathered onto the bus and took the long 2 hour drive to Banos, to see the Pailon Del Diablo (the Devils Cauldron) which is a cool and muy peligroso (very dangerous) waterfall. Everyone was hella brave and got out of their comfort zone. We crawled up tight caves and climbed up rocks to stand right behind the gushing waterfall where we all got totally soaked. We got some really cool shots on our cameras and made some really great memories. After looking at the waterfall close up, we hiked back towards a bridge and walked across it to the other side to get an entire view of the waterfall.
After embracing the beauty of the waterfall, we took the long hike back to the top where we got in the bus and drove to Kicha Rest. We had some delicious meat steak and rice with potatoes and a salad. It was a very cool meal. We then took the long 2 hour bus ride back to Riobamba, where selected members (Kelly, Melanie, Sage, Alejandra, and Skyler) gathered with Ana and Juanito, and drove to get the materials for our CAP project.
We finished our evening meal at Frida Restaurant. We had huge delicious awesome burritos, crispy, crunchy tacos, and flavor embedded enchiladas.
Before the night is over, we would like to take the time to acknowledge all of our fathers who work hard and love us so much. Happy Father`s Day!!!!! We know we couldn`t be with you today, but we`re bringing you back gifts from Ecuador!

Looks and sounds like you had a great day at the falls, I like that you are up and running with Tony to start the day. Let’s see you keep that up when back at home. You were missed on Father’s Day but on behalf of all dads my day was special knowing you and your group has gelled quickly, learning valuable life lessons and having fun doing it. It’s 101 degrees back home and don’t worry Hunter was not out trying to catch a Father’s Day special Trout. Love ya, enjoy every second

Wow, there is so much happening in one day!!! Your adventure is so amazing and food sounds good too. We went to a Persian Restaurant in San Francisco to celebrate Father’s Day. Can’t wait to talk to you again on Wednesday. Take care Justin ❤️

The view looks amazing!! So brave of you guys to get so close to the waterfall.
Kellyfornia, you’d be happy to know you escaped the 104 degree weather in SJ yesterday! and of course even on father’s day, dad is constantly thinking about you and your adventures!

I can’t believe those pictures. I bet they were even more spectacular in person. Hoping that you were able to share some of your scouting skills during the hike. Always be safe my son. Love you.
Nice mountain I wish I was there ??????????
