On the way to Saquisili we passed the Cotopaxi volcano.  It was a beautiful day and the views were superb, the whole mountain just appeared to float in the sky.

Visited a traditional market at a small town about 2 hours from Quito.  It was full of livestock (pigs, cows, llamas) and brightly coloured crafts+clothes and all sorts of fresh food.  It was a great place to go for your weekly shop, so much more alive and interesting than going to Tesco!

On the way back we stopped at a restaurant and tucked into the local delicacy - guinea pig.  It is great fun to play with, though pretty hard to find meat on.  The one I had came without head or testicles but others weren´t so lucky (see photo)!
