Vacation Week

Ecuador #2

This week we went to Otavalo and an outside suburb of Ibarra.
It was a great vacation week for us starting it off by staying at a very calm and beautiful hotel (that we had to our selves!) where I painted, where we did hikes and relaxed as well. 

It was a great experience and then we rode to Otavalo on a very bumpy road but with beautiful views.
We stayed at a cozy hotel and walked the streets of Otavalo in the evening. This is possible here because it's safe enough, in Quito it isn't the best idea. We walked throughout the markets of Otavalo today. Julie and I went kayaking on a big lake when it started pouring rain... 
We did an amazing hike with a great view of a volcanic lake and a snow covered mountain.

We also went to a cute town called Cotacachi. The main street there only has leather shops and all the people make the leather bags and clothes themselves, sometimes in the shop.

We've had a great time this week and are ready to start off with at least two weeks of spanish classes and homeschooling.
