Here are some pictures from our recent excursion to sites north of Quito. First are some pictures from a town named Calderon. We stopped there look at the figurines made from bread dough called masa. The KKK-looking figures are part of the Catholic tradition we learned.
Most of the pictures are from the market in Otavalo about 2 hours north of Quito (by car). It´s famous for its textiles, which are as varied as the nearby villages and towns. The food was fascinating as well.
There are photos from lake Cuicocha, a crater lake. We rode a boat about 15 minutes to see bubbles rising to the top from hot volcanic activity more than 600 feet below the surface.
