Today in Otavalo

Today our group went to territory in Otavalo


We worked many of the blocks in this area.  A young girl spoke some English and a return visit was set up to study the Bible with her.


After a lot of walking all morning, time for an ice cream break.


There are sides of Ecuador that can't be ignored.  As the xmas holiday draws near, over drinking early in the day results in scenes like this couple below.



Laundry is hung wherever convenient.


A walk through the market





Not a real Taco Bell.  Just a local's name choice for their restaurant.  Copyright infringement is quite common.


Aside the main park in the center of town is a coffee bar operated by a local but catering to the Gringo visitors.  It caught the eye of Levi (left) who just arrived from Colorado. 


He wanted an Iced Coffee which turned out to be quite a production to make, taking nearly 15 minutes!


The video below shows the "event" of waiting for the order and finally receiving it.
Notice near the end where Vicki gives the owner some magazines with articles for his family.
