Getting back to Normal

 Our inspections are done and we are back at the temple for some rest and relaxation. It's seems like forever since we've been able to stay in familiar surroundings. Our regular schedule in Cumbayá is attending the temple in the morning, walking 5K, eating lunch at a familiar restaurant, and returning to the temple for another session in the evening. 

I'll never get used to the beautiful green weather in Quito. It feels and smells like San Diego. We found a little trail down to the river during our walk.

The river was running quite forcefully and carving out little places in the rock. 

We had to fix the two tires that were damaged by the incident in Esmeraldas, so we had extra time to adventure around. We found a curious address.

This is the best way to figure out locations in Ecuador since they live without addresses. Here is what the latitude and longitude coordinates point to:

While the tire was being fixed, we found a cute little shop called Mrs. Dalloway Workshop. It is a large, second-story studio space for crafting. I would love to create something similar so my friends and I could stitch together. 

Here's to dreaming about quilting again.
