Photo Update on Ecuador, Before Christmas

30-nov-2009 I went on a Rotaract trip to Riobamba, a town in the Sierra region of Ecuador. Rotaract is party of Rotary International, a service group based in communities throughout the world, Rotaract is specifically for youth, 18 to 30 years old. While in the Sierra, we hiked around Chimborazo, the tallest volcano in Ecuador. We couldn’t see the top because their were too many clouds! They first appeared as shadows in the clouds. Then the Alpacas emerged. (Unless I am mistaken, and they are llamas). This picture is almost as cool as the (many) photos my dad has of the three fawns in the backyard at home. In Riobamba, we rode around in a la chiva for awhile. It is the colorful open-air jalopy-bus behind us, top photo. This is kind of like crusin’ in a car, only with louder music, and more friends. Everybody in Rotaract tries to pile on top of la chiva as it slowly goes through town.
