Back From South America

I'm finally back from South America! I was there for about 3 weeks and I had an Awesome time.
The country we visited was Quito, Ecuador and it was simply BEAUTIFUL. As you will see in the pictures I upload for you guys, the mountains are gorgeous. I believe the city of Quito is 2800 meters above sea level(9200 feet).

Nevertheless, Quito is the capital and I believe it is surrounded by 9 or more Volcanoes. I don't remember how many are active, but there are a few that could blow within the next 5 years. I actually got a chance to take a boat ride on a lake that sits above an active volcano. The lake is called Lake QuinCocha or something like that. Took some nice pictures.

Furthermore, the interesting thing was that you could actually see bubbles rising up from the bottom of the lake. Also, no fish actually exist in the lake because there is no shore line or beach for the eggs to hatch. Well that's what the locals told me, but other than that, the view was Incredible!!!

I had a great time, the cool thing there was they use US Dollars for their money so it made it a whole lot easier to count my money.

It's great to be back and I am looking forward to September's meeting.

Finally, I did get a chance to visit the monument of the (Equator) where an imaginary line is drawn on the ground of the park acting as though it is going around the planet,(the center of the earth) with Latitude 0-0'-0". Nice Right!

See ya guys :D

Hi!

Really cool pics!

As for getting more on, you put them on a website and link to them. A lot of people here use PhotoBucket (I've got my own school website). Once the pic is uploaded, view the picture and then right click on it and click "copy image location" then in your post click on the picture button two over from the smilies on the toolbar and past the URL there.

Later!
Amanda.

Thanx Sarah!!!

I told you I was going...You didn't believe me did you? :p

The food was AWESOME!!! I actually lost a few pounds, but I was eating so much Ecuadorian food that it was coming out of my ears. :lol: We did not get sick at all, which was a good thing.

My wife and daughter had such a good time that we plan on going back next year. Oh by the way, the little model that I gave you of the Equator has a museum inside of it. I believe there are 4-5 floors of Cultural stuff and information about the country and it's history, which was fascinating. When I get more time I will upload some more pics, OK.

No pics, Rich. Did you move them from your computer? If you still have them you may have to post them again. :) Do you use Photobucket?
