pictures from exciting days!

hey all, alright so here are some pics i was talking about... take a read on yesterday's post to see what im talking about :)



the drive up to Papallacta...



some pics from Grandma's birthday...and other family members...



Patty and little Amelia - i guess she would be my neice



lunch! these are pinchos...



aunt marcia, dominique, and the killer duck!



Abigail...soooo cute!



4x4 racing... look at how close the people are! we were on a little mound of dirt so only got really dusty...but not muddy



the extent of the dirt...lots on our face, hair, clothes and shoes...



another lunch :P this one is called hornado, basically shredded pork, fried skin, some sort of cereal grain thing, avocado, banana maduro, and more. it's sorta like Memphis Blues with the different types of meats



the view of the south of Quito from the top of Pinchincha after taking the Teleferiqo up. straight ahead is Cotopaxi.



valleys



it's me...in the middle of nowhere!



i am IN the clouds!

well, that's all. pretty nice eh? what do you guys think? i forgot to mention that there were signs up at the top of Pichincha that said "no running" or "no corra" because of the altitude. if you run, you'll be out of breath and faint....no good.
