Quilotoa

During the few weeks of dry weather we've had, we headed to a somewhat more remote region south of Quito, Quilotoa. We had read a lot about the beautiful Laguna Quilotoa, but rumor had it that you could only go when there was little rain. And in Ecuador...that doesn't leave a lot of opportunity.

The laguna was, as expected, gorgeous, and we enjoyed the time very much. We took a ton of pictures, so bear with us. You're only see a small fraction!

The drive, in and of itself, was worth the trip.

The population is mostly indigenous, and it was wonderful to see their beautiful ponchos and way of life.

We passed on market day, which is always a sight. Lots of folks driving their livestock back home after a day at the market.



Randomly on the way back, it snowed! The boys were delighted because snow, for them, is something that only exists in Bowie.

What a wonderful visit!
