No, but that would have been awesome! Actually the best purchase I saw was when a couple of Australian guys bought a cow – it cost them something like $60, and they said they were going to give it away at the end of the day…
Good for them… $60 is so little for what it is to those who need it. Hopefully it worked out!

Sadly, this is not the first time I’ve seen a container of dead chickens… because my family has a chicken farm lol. Those snails though are awesome!

I could never figure out exactly what those snails were for…probably for eating, but who knows?
Beautiful photos! Ecuador in three years? Two, who knows?
