Quito Day Festival

Each class participated in a traditional dance of Ecuador. The kids were so cute. You could definitely tell who didn't have Latino blood in them.

Nicolas was very serious about his dancing.

Barney, Julie, Eric, Nick and MIkala at a waterfall outside of Rio Negro. It was a beautiful hike into the falls.

Matt and Mikala on the same path.

Some of our group at another waterfall called Pilon del diablo (the devil's cauldron).
It is huge and very beautiful.

You can crawl through this path and actually touch the waterfall.

And one more falls. This one we took a ride on the tarabita below. It was pretty fun. It goes right over the falls.
