Sunday in Quito

After our Spanish lesson this morning the plan was to go for a walk in El Parque Metropolitano and then come home via Nayon, a village on the other side  of the mountain we live on (15 minutes from home) to buy a bouganvillea. However, we noticed that the sky was spectacularly clear this morning and that we could see 3 snow-capped volcanoes. So, we revised our plans and went down to Nayon first, because the views during the descent are incredible. We captured this beautiful shot of Cotopaxi Volcano.

Cotopaxi Volcano - a rare sight to see so clearly
