To market, to market....

Hola from Ecuador!!! We had a long and busy day today. We started out with a tour of Old City Quito and viewed the main square, goverment buildings and gardens. We had a beautiful, sunny day and when we finally reached the Santo Domingo monestary we were able to take some great pictures in the gardens.
We traveled about 30 minutes to the Mitad del Mundo, or the Equatorial Museum. We got to try all sorts of experiments that illustrated the Coriolis Effect on the Earth. We watched water go down a drain in different directions in each hemispere and tested our strength against the effects of less gravity at latitude 0'0".
We ate lunch at a cute place called the Coffee Tree. Some of us were more adventurous with our meal choices, but for some the "Nuggets de Pollo" were just fine. :)
Finally we shopped til we dropped spending the rest of the afternoon in an authentic cultural market before heading back for some R&R at the pool.
We head out to Cotopaxi National Park early tomorrow for a day at about 14000 feet. It should be a tiring day!
We will be posting pics, once we can figure out the computer vs. camera issue we are having... Buenos Noches!!
