There are so.many.pictures. Ugh.
This first batch is from a trip with friends to the Parque Cotopaxi - a national park at the base of one of Ecuador's snow-capped mountains. Nothing like arriving at almost 9,300 ft above sea level, and the going a little higher (about 11,000 ft). Holy lack-of-oxygen.

| the drive - are we there yet? |
 |
| i had to include a pic of the roads... they were spectacular this year. no pot holes and they'd all been widened! |
 |
| plus, there was actual road signage. no more 'turn at the gas station' - now you actually know where you're going! |
 |
| of course, just about every mile you're reminded of why the roads/signs exist... the people's revolution marches on. this crazy president may do a lot of stupid things... but the roads infrastructure is fabulous now! |

| moo. |
 |
| el cotopaxi. it was a cloudy day but you can see some of the snow at the base of the peak. |
 |
| a short, freezing cold walk around the laguna. |
 |
