A few more pictures from Ecuador

Honestly I am too tired to post and write much.  We have been going non-stop since we've been here.  We are up early each day and go to bed late.  The altitude really wears you out!  The week has been good and it's really hard to believe that tomorrow is Friday.  It has gone by fast.  I am posting a few more pictures but I'll write more about the trip later or when we get back home.  Good night from Ecuador!


 The volcano Cotopaxi.  It is still an active volcano.  This was the first day there weren't clouds all around it and we could see the top.  It's a beautiful sight.

 We are staying at a Catholic retreat.  This is the building we are staying in.  The first window right there is our room.


 The meat she is cooking is pork.  If you eat that off the street you'd probably get really really sick.  The whole cooked pigs were there leaning against the window.

 There is graffiti everywhere and on top of most walls around the houses there is broken glass like this to keep people out.

 One of the many beautiful views from the Henry Davis orphanage we visited yesterday and today.

Quito and surrounding areas are very hilly/mountainous and houses are built all into the sides and down into the valley.
