Quito/ Otavalo

Quito and Otavalo: Both cities are located near each other in the Andes Mountains and are known for their artisan markets. Colder weather, rain, excellent restaurants, a coffee shop, beautiful mountains, large parks, people from all over the world, Indians and art up the ying yang. Check it out:

Night life in Quito. As many languages being spoken as adult bevy's being consumed.

Otavalo Artisan Market:
Many of the vender's at the artisan market carry all of their crafts for sale on their back. Early in the morning and then in the evening, this is the sight of vender's coming and going.

Looks like a cool place...maybe a good place for us to go when we come to visit. Well, I shouldn't get ahead of myself, it isn't like we have plane tickets or anything. Looks like you are still having a good time.
