Indianna Pat and Phillip ¨007¨ Wells

We did two activities today, horseback riding in the morning (both of us) and paragliding (Phillip only) this afternoon. I wore my leather hat we bought in Cuenca on the ride, hence the Ïndianna Pat¨ title:

The ride went up into the mountains,

then down to a waterfall which had a metal basket in which we rode across the water to the sodas and water, and the tree house, shown above.

Phillip did ride a horse, too, but he didn´t have a cool hat like I did!

He did, however, find the pretty ladies, like these three from Norway who were on the ride with us... all younger than Leslie and Robin.

Now for the 007 part of the day. I´m sure James Bond parasailed... well, now so has Phillip! Here he is getting into his flight suit... it was chilly up there as he started at about 3000 meters, and then went higher.

For some reason, they gave him a flight suit with the Spanish word for ¨pilot¨on it!



He had the camera with the SD card with him, so I don´t have pictures to post of his takeoff, but he took pictures and videos in-flight:

Those are his knees! And a picture, without his knees, of the active volcano near Baños taken during Phillip´s flight:

He loved every minute of his flight (it was tandem, he had an experienced actual pilot) and did make it safely back to the ground.

In all, a very fun day for both of us, Indianna Pat and 007 Phillip.
