Kelly's been a bit under the weather the past two days, something about dairy products! Ensuring we have ample supplies of Tang, Apple Juice, and Oreos has been my primary function. Before that though we had some fun adventures in and around Quito. We left Bahia de Caraquez one week ago and made a trip to the Isla Corazon. This is one of the worlds few remaining Mangrove forests, and a bird sanctuary. We took a canoe to the mangroves through mosquito infested swamp and a labrynth of natural tunnels to a place where Frigate Birds, Ibis, and Heron were bountiful. We also walked a boardwalk where crab and shrimptraps were diplayed for us. Later as we waited for a bus we caught a glimpse of Pacific sunset, that is rival to anywhere I've seen.
Next, once in Quito, we explored one of the Cathedrals in town and it was all access! We even got to hang out with the garoyles.
We then climbed Rucu Pichincha,which Kelly calls Rucupachoooo!!
As well as viewing some Guyasamin.

I feel your pain Kel. All of a sudden, I'm lactose intolerant, too. Dan makes me take Lactaid before ice cream now. I hate to admit, but it helps.
ReplyDeleteFabulous journaling--- I am so delighted to hear from you both. I have pre-op tomorrow morning. On to other news; I will be keeping Chris and Leslie's baby girl this weekend. Ashland is now 10 months old. I am looking forward to Poppie and my friend Betty coming this weekend they will stay through the surgery. Kelly I hope you will soon be over the gooney-rot. Love- SC Mom
