Ecuadorian Adventures!

Well our adventures have continued as we wait for the legal end of our being here to go through....

We have been doing a lot of walking.... a lot of walking... we went to the Artisan Market and everyone enjoyed buying their souvenirs! They learned how to barter and learned that Ecuadorians do not like to make change and most do not even have any change. How do sell things like this? I will never know!

Another day we headed off to Plaza Grande and to see the Presidents Palace. This was very exciting for Alejandra and she commenced to telling us all about Correa.

Aaron got his boots all shined up!

O but wait...we have to wait a couple of hours to go into the palace so we decided to head up the street...

Destination: the Basilica

We decided to just head up to the top and check out the heights!

A little scared....

It's a hole in the wall!

Its a long way up....

Inside the clock!

Now to walk the plank....

Proof! They went up to the top! Well not quite the top...but far enough!

I love the view from the top!

 It is defiantly a long way up!

So we stopped for some refreshments, headed back down the hill and made it to the presidents palace, through inspection and (Brianna) breathed a sigh of relief!

 Never were there such devoted sisters!

A daddy and his girl!

more sisters!

The table settings

And the dining table...that seats 80 people.

Harmony is enjoying seeing and learning about her little sisters homeland.

Our Ecuador girl!

We were all a little wore out and sun burnt after our long day....
