mom and dad's visit - around otavalo

the last week and a half of the trip was just in otavalo, and consisted of a LOT of service.  below are photos from around town.  we had incredible weather while mom and dad were here and were able see four of the snow-capped mountains one day (cotacachi, cayambe, cotopaxi, and antisana).  click on the photos to enlarge them.

 one mode of transport which we don't see in our area very often.  

it's much more popular on the coast.
