15,696 ft. looking down on Quito


Reid and Ed decided to go to go for a "hike" on Saturday after our first Parh-te in our apartment.  Over twenty people gathered at the Millis homestead for pizza, charades and dancing.  Ed's famous G n T's were also a hit.


Riding the Teleferico (a.k.a. gondola) to the start of our first Volcano Climb, Pinchincha.


On the trail to the top of Pinchincha which is hidden in the clouds.


Here is a peek of Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano in the world and on the list to be climbed.


A church to stop and pray for safe travels on the way to the top.


A shot of an unidentified vulture-esque bird on the top of Pinchincha looking for handouts.


We made it to the top, but unfortunately we're surrounded by clouds.


On Sunday, we followed our fellow Ecuadorian's custom to go the park.  We went to Carolina Park where soccer, basketball, volleyball, kite-flying and...


SALSA DANCING LESSONS...Rae was aghast with the "dirty dancing"...forever "traumatized" in her words.


Time to relax....

Hope you make it to the top of your destined peak,

TEAM MILLIS
