Like I’ve been saying, “We put a nice little weekend together”.  After the botanical garden, Betsy and I took a 15 minute cab ride to Nayon, a sleepy town east of Quito and down the hill.  Right away Nayon felt more like our pace.  The main industry of this small town is selling greenhouse plants.  The gardener we purchased our plants from, Juan, is a third generation gardener and also does work for the school.  It was hard to decide, but we got a few things we had always wanted but never had because of the sheer expense in the states or how restricted the environment was back home.  In the end, we purchased two different palms, four rose plants, a lime tree, an orange tree, some tomato plants, and azalea bush.  Juan even loaded up everything in his brother’s pick up truck, drove us home, and helped us plant the rose bushes.  Amazing.
