Otavalo & Bizcochos y Queso

Today was a lot of fun! First of all, we got to sleep in a little bit longer than we normally would because we left at 9 for Otovalo.  It was really cool to see all the different houses and plants on our way to our next adventure.  Then, we stopped to go take photos with our entire group with a beautiful canyon in the background.  Then, we drove for 30 more minutes and ended up at a gas station with really good cheese and cracker kind of things.  We then left, drove for another hour, and pasted a really pretty lake and blue mountains.  After the long drive, we stopped at a lake with the name I can't remember right now.  It was a volcano crater and we got to go on a boat ride and got a little wet.  Then, we drove to the market in Otovalo.  Otovalo seemed like a pretty big town and there was a massive block with a massive clothing market.  We got to buy a bunch of the stuff and we did not want to leave.  There was so much to see and buy and I ended up buying an entire duffle bag full of stuff.  Then, we went back to bus and drove for another 2 and a half hours.  I also fell on the floor of the bus when the bus breaked while going uphill.  Fun. Overall today was pretty chill.
