So much has happened since our last post, we are having to go back about a month.

Betsy and I went to Quilotoa, a crater lake about 2.5 hours south of Quito.  We hiked around the caldera, about 10km in circumference.  This was a big accomplishment because it was the biggest test for Betsy’s knee since her surgery.

The next day, we took a short, but steep drive west out of the valley to a ridge.  From around 12,000′ we were told we could see the coast.  Unfortunately, the coast was socked in.  Still, it made for some great photos to be high above the clouds.
