The hot springs were very refreshing because it was chilly outside. There were various pools with slightly different temperatures and we hopped from one to the other. I had some scrapes left on my knees from the race the previous weekend so I [actually mom] was worried of getting an infection. My knees are healing just fine so no one worry!

Skip to this weekend... I was going to go to Mindo this past weekend but my stomach had other plans. I stayed home and ended up going to a women's rights march. I painted a shirt that said "Soy mujer, tengo valor, escuchame!" [I am a woman, I have value, listen to me]. It was very up beat and we marched the streets of Quito dancing and chanting. In Ecuador [and most of Latin America] there is a lot of discrimination against women. I wanted to join the fight for equality and march with some awesome Ecuadorian men and women. It was a very safe and legal march!

Yesterday I went to Cotopaxi and hiked a little bit up the volcano. It was cold and snowing so I was excited to see my first snow of the year! It was very foggy also so we couldn't see the summit :( The altitude was also affecting our breathing so we decided to turn back after a ways of hiking. The most exciting part was when we saw a fox. It was pretty close and so cute! I decided to not pet this one like I do all the stray dogs.
