While we were in Quito, we took a day trip with some good friends to Otovallo, a small town in the north western part of Ecuador. The first picture of of our friends, Lauri and Mara Nelson. Mara is an experineced "haggler". Otovallo is about 2 hours from Quito and looked completely different than Quito or Pastaza (where we live). The mountains, and terrain reminded us of northern california. It was beautiful. Otovallo is known for its indigenous markets where you can purchase lots textiles, pottery and paintings. We had a lot of fun and many of you will be recieving some of our purchases. While there we bought a tapestry for our wall, a rug for our bedroom and lots of presents. I hope you enjoy the pictures of this beautiful town and its people.
