Quesla spent some time wandering through Shell as her time in here comes to a close. Click on any of the small photos to view a larger image.

	This man runs a shop in town. He sells a variety of things from firecrackers (illegal in Ecuador) to rice. You can buy candy bars, gum, and soda here, but not ice cream. You can buy canned goods and chips, but you can't buy vegetable or fresh meat here. You'll have to go to about five different stores to do your shopping. There's no such thing as a grocery story here in Shell. Can you find Quesla?
	This shop sells fruits and vegetables.
	You can buy eggs at this small shop. That's $1.50 for thirty eggs.
	This outdoor stand sells fish. The fish aren't kept on ice, and you can see the fly swatter used to keep the flies away. Looks healthy, doesn't it? Quesla wouldn't get close because of the smell!
	If you need some shoes repaired, this man will do a great job. He charged Mr. H about a dollar to repair some leather shoes that were coming apart. Can you find Quesla?
	Almost every town in Ecuador has at least one park with a zipline like this one. Most of them are in various states of dis-repair. This one is in the park in Shell.
	The Vozandes del Oriente hospital in Shell is run by HCJB. Some of the kids at Nate Saint school are from families that belong to this mission. Their parents are doctors, lab technicians, nurses, or maintenance workers. People come from all over Ecuador to go to this hospital. If you fell out of a palm tree, or were bit by a bushmaster snake, this is the place to come. Can you find Quesla?
	Flash is the cat at the MAF hanger. (Some of the kids at Nate Saint school have a dad who is a pilot for MAF.) Flash is a very friendly and playful cat. He loves to fall asleep in planes that are in the hanger. He has been a stowaway on several flights into the jungle. Sadly, he has been missing for about a week. Maybe he was a little too friendly and went home with someone. At least they don't eat cats in Ecuador!
	This is the bus to Rio Bamba. Most people in Ecuador don't have their own car. If you want to go somewhere a bus is the way to go. The 150 mile trip to Quito costs about $4. Do you see the bikes on the bus roof? If you get tired of riding, just wave for the bus and they'll put your bike on the roof. The roof is also used to hold baskets and food being taken to the market.
	How long do you think it takes to dry laundry outside in a place that gets twenty feet of rain a year! During the month of April it rained 22.5" so that didn't leave much time to dry laundry on the line.
