A Walk in the Jungle

Our last day in Mindo we decided to take a walk in the jungle behind the hotel. It's not as daring as it sounds because the paths were very well marked. At first we just walked and talked and didn't really see anything and then we slowed down and started to really look. Suddenly we started to notice all kinds of butterflies and strange flowers and plants and even some beautiful fungus. There were birds too and we could hear their calls but they were difficult to see. I had hoped to see a toucan but no luck. Fortunately we walked in the morning because it poured all afternoon. I guess a cloud forest includes rain clouds.
