Day 11 - A beautiful day in Quito included a long bus ride to Otavalo, with a stop at a beautiful look out, and another for biscochos with cheese and carmel sauce - yummy! A lovely Otavaleña woman joined us for the final leg of our drive to explain her native dress, sing a song, and sell her family products - beautiful scarves, hair ties and bracelets. My kind of shopping!
The 6 x 6 square block open market is colorful and inviting, filled with blankets, rugs, wood carved items, jewelry, leather goods, yarn, produce, and more. One can get lost in the maze of goods for sale!
We each returned with treasures for family, friends, and ourselves.
It was a pleasant drive back to CMT and before dinner we gathered for show and tell!
Tonight is lights out at 10pm so we can wake up early for our Minga - work day!
Sleep with the angels!
