Today sister Mayra (I think that is her name), Marco, Juan, Marta—a woman my age from Spain who is volunteering at the maternity hospital where Mayra works—and I did a little site seeing. We went to a castle about 15 minutes outside Cayambe in the morning, but the people who worked there wouldn’t let us in and told us to come back in the afternoon. (When we came back they still didn’t let us in… don’t know why.) We then went to see a park to a waterfall. It was pretty; however, in comparison to Iguazu… it wasn’t much.
Marta was really sweet and invited me to do some traveling with her. It was funny to hear her Spanish accent, which sounds like someone talking with a lisp. I’m not sure if I will be able to travel with her, but I would like to go out for coffee and bizcochos sometime with her.
After the waterfalls, we lunched and then went to see the famous market of Otavolo. There were so many pretty things, but I don’t know how I am going to carry my luggage to my site as it is. I really can’t spend too much money on souvenirs. I do hope to come back some time. I do have two years…
