Backtrack: May 7 ❤ Lago San Pablo & Otavalo

Today we went to Lago San Pablo and Otavalo.  The water was so high in the lake that they had taped off the entrance to the dock.  We ended up just taking Joshua to the park and then going to Otavalo.

 Leo's friend Cesar joined us for the day and he was so much fun.  We all went to lunch in Otavalo where there was a band playing.  After that, we walked around the marketplace and Cesar and Leo helped me get blankets, handmade cards, and scarves for much less than the people originally asked.

We left Otavalo and tried to get to the nearby condor park for their bird show.  It turned out they hadn't even run the later show and we got there five minutes before the park closed so they wouldn't let us in.  Oh, well.  We drove back to downtown Quito and on our way back I took some pictures of the views.  We ended up seeing a rainbow, too!!!

Rainbow!!!
Leah had wanted to eat dinner at this place on the way back, but it was closed.  We went by a Greek place she suggested and they were just closing up.  They said they didn't have much business since the vote had happened that day.  We ended up at the Mexican restaurant we had eaten at before.  Leah and I shared a chimichanga.  It was really tasty.  :)  A nice way to end a long day.
