What a crazy, exciting and unbelievable day. First off, we are having problems with the internet and posting pictures...we will try again tonight but no promises.
The trip started by us getting upgraded to a FANCY hotel. We are staying at the Le Parc hotel which is amazing and beautiful. Thank goodness for conferences that book out the Sheraton. For all you parents, the number here is 593 2 227 6800.
Our guide, Chris, took us to the Pichincha volcano at 13,500 feet and finished the day by showing us the amazing churches and squares of Quito. They were all so amazing and it was so unbelievable to see Catholic, French, Muslim and indigenous influences in each. There was one that is thought to have 7 TONS of gold decorating the inside. We had a fabulous lunch outside of San Francisco Church where Chris surprised Ayla with a birthday cake and gift! They day finished up early and we are all resting up for a fantastic dinner here at the hotel.
Again, we will try to post pictures and video soon! Everyone is alive, well, learning and seeing so much! With love, from Ecuador!

Sounds like you did have an eventful day! Wow, did you have to hike up to see the volcano? You'll have to let us know how the food tastes. Anyway, it's good to know all is well. Until later, Char
