I'm up in Quito.

I'm up in Quito. Ron and I are up here to pick up the work team from our church. They arrive this afternoon. We drove up yesterday and took a three hour side trip to the parking lot on the slopes of Cotopaxi. From the parking lot we hiked a half hour up to the climber's hut. We drove to about 15,000 feet, and hiked even higher. Still didn't make it to the snowline. I'd like to make the climb to the summit in June. We'll see.

This morning we took the trolley down to Old Quito, hoping to buy tickets for the train. There's a train that goes from Quito down to the Cotopaxi National Park. You can ride on the roof, and that's what we were hoping to do with the work team on Saturday. Sadly, the tickets were all sold out. We'll go to the momument at the Equator instead.

Ron is off shopping for water heaters for one of our MAF houses. I'm going to head over to the home of one of our MAF families here in Quito and work on there compupter. There's always something to do. At 2 PM we'll head over to the airport to pick the work team up.
