Meeting Up With Friends

The kids and I went to Quito today and spent the day with my friend Audrey who is on the brigade and Kim a doctor on the brigade.  We toured Old Town and walked around a little in New Town too.  Lucas was like a little tour guide telling us where things were and places he liked.  Of course he pointed out all the ice cream places we have eaten in also.  He was the most excited to show them the Basilica.  We also went to his and Melayna's favorite Quito park Ejido and he met a friend and played for about an hour.  It was a very pleasant day.  We also walked up to a little cafe on the hill that had a beautiful view of the city.  It was recommended by a guy on the plane with Audrey yesterday.  It was quite a hike up the hill to get there and of course Lucas had no problem while the rest of us huffed and puffed all the way up.  It was worth the walk.  It was called Cafe Mosaic.  Both kids were troupers today, but they were tired when we got home.  Looking forward to a good weekend.
