2 Days of Pleasure: Our time @ the Madre Tierra Spa
We did nothing. There was no hiking, horesback riding, mountain biking, adventurous excursions, really long bus trips, or unpleasant mosquito experiences on our trip to or during our time there.
It was just relaxing.
We decided that we were just going to chill out, enjoy a couple days "off" & pamper ourselves a little.
The grounds there were really pretty, the food was really tasty, the owner was great too, & the spa was unforgettable. I'd never done the spa thing before, but really liked it & Ellie enjoyed herself as well. I also liked that all the spa treatments were 1/2 priced for hotel guests so our indulgent 2 days didn't break the bank.
The only thing that wasn't perfect about our experience was a brief lesson in arachnology. We learned
1.)scorpions live in Ecuador, &
2.)only the dark ones are poisonous.
Scorpions got into our room while we were there, we didn't get stung, just freaked out. I hope not to find myself asking "can that kill me?" (they can't by the way) when I notice something in the bathroom for the rest of this trip.
