On Sunday, some school friends invited us to go for a stroll through Parque Metroplitano which is about a 10 minute walk from our house. Our day was warm with gorgeous blue skies.
Up at the top of the steep hillside, we passed by a full blown soccer game.
Along the path was a small village with a few stores selling popcorn, juice and other snacks.
And we were dismayed to meet the most unfriendly Golden Retriever just doing his guard dog duties.
On our way down, we stopped to admire the view. Reid was obviously enjoying every minute ( :
The view of Cotopaxi filled Ed with remorse for not accompanying our friends who had summited the mountain earlier in the day.
After we returned home, a half hour later, I left our apartment to go buy groceries. This is what I saw. The green on the hill is Parque Metropolitano, the one where we had just taken a walk.
Arson is suspected. The fire is being investigated with rewards of $50,000 to $100,000 for any information. We spent the rest of the day watching and listening to the multitude of helicopters buzzing overhead fighting the fire. Today was much of the same. Most of today's recesses were spent indoors due to the poor air quality. Fingers crossed for it to be totally under control soon.
May you be safe on your journeys,
TEAM MILLIS
Thinking of you - glad you are safe.
