Will and Cher in Jardin Botanico in Parque La Carolina in Quito. We went to the park with Izabela on a Sunday, just like everyone else in Quito does on Sunday. Will and Izabela had to patiently nudge me away from a vendor selling some kind of foaming sweet goodness, but Izabela pointing out that one of the women at the stand was washing her feet with the same rag she used to wash the dishes. Anyway, I didn't get a sugar high this time...

Cher and Will at the summit of the TeleFerico cable car ride. Beautiful views of volcanos and of Quito. And Will keeps hitting the high places, so perhaps we'll do some skydiving yet someday!

Cher and Will under the tree of life at the Guayasamin museum and home. We loved this day of beauty.

An homage to trains: Cher loves trains and traipsed us halfway across Ecuador for two days just to ride a train called the Nariz del Diablo. She couldn't have been happier about it. She attributes this to trips with her Grandpa Baltic as a little girl. He loved trains very much and passed this on to his son and definitely to this granddaughter as well.

And Will shares the childlike delight of trains, so this worked out just fine.
