Today, we had the immense pleasure of hanging out with my sister and her fiance, Ameen. We met in our favorite park - La Carolina - had lunch and then went up one of the beautiful mountains that surround Quito. The trip up is in a gondola, with amazing views of the city. Almost as soon as we got to the top the clouds rolled in, and we couldn't see more than 10 feet ahead of us, which was very mysterious and cool ( Bri and Ameen are suspiciously good at acting like zombies). We saw 3 local people herding horses down the mountain. A little startling to see them come unexpectedly out of the fog at us, but a cool sight once we realized what they were. The white with the black lines is a view from the gondola on our way back down.

My idea of a gondola is the romantic boats of Venice. Something tells me this is NOT the same. What is it?
Right! Same name but very different. It is an extremely large and fancy sky ride that takes you up to the top of a mountain. It resembles an enclosed carriage!
