When I went to Coca to catch a canoe downriver to Peru, I never thought I would spend nearly three weeks here. In my time I have gotten to know the lovely ladies of Ecuador Ejercitate, and today I was invited to watch their demonstration at a local dance exhibition. I gotta say it was an incredible display of dances from the Costa, Sierra, and Jungle regions of Ecuador. I even got treated like a VIP (escorted to my seat by a beautiful girl in a red dress, now thats class folks!) and was allowed to sample the various typical foods. This wonderful display has really topped off three weeks defined by dancing here in Ecuador... I couldn't think of a better way to cap it!
