For Quito Days (6 de Diciembre), we traveled with our friends, Vanessa, Nick, and John, to the town of La Esperanza to the north of Quito. We stayed at Casa Aida where the owner, Aida, told us stories and showed us pictures from the 1970s when Bob Dylan and members of Pink Floyd stayed there.

On Saturday morning, we got up early and hiked to the top of Imbabura, the local volcano. It was a cloudy day so there were not any views from the top but it was a fun hike with all of our friends and Lucy.
