Another weekend adventure

Some pictures from Quito,
It was sort of a foggy day...
Awesome tour guide: "do you want a picture of this?" yes, I do.

This is the equator, I am on both sides
That was as many pictures as blogger would let me post.


So Friday was my midterm (bleh,) but Saturday we all got up early and took a bus to Otovalo. First we hit up this sweet volcanoe. It was cool to see it from far away. I took a few pictures, and will post them soon (I haven't uploaded them yet/don't have room.) Then, we went to the market, where I bartered like crazy. It is fun to do, they tell you a price, then you look wary, and tell them half of that price. Usually, they won't give it to you. You have to be adament, maybe move up a little, and then walk away. Usually they call you back. I had so much fun and probably spent waaay too much money. Afterwards we took a boat tour of this lagoon in a caldera. You could see the bubbles come up since the volcano is still active.

I am having a good time, but I have to go write a paper now.

Ciao!
