Ecuador 2012

I spent the week of spring break in Ecuador with Sarah and her roomie Ximena. We traveled around the City of Quito and surrounding areas, and even went to the beach where we got totally sunburnt. I’ll let the captions tell the story.

Me with Xime’s sister at the birthday party Me and Xime at Cafe de Vaca Sarah playing on the zip line at Cafe de Vaca. Zip lines are pretty common on playgrounds. The three of us with our food before we move on to Baños We took a detour to the top of Cotopaxi, an active volcano. But it was super cold.
