On Monday the group went to Otavalo market for a day of shopping.  Alden said that she was able to buy gifts for everyone for just $35.  She said that she had a great time bargaining and talking to the merchants.  She was proud of her Spanish speaking skills.  They returned to Quito for an evening of Salsa lessons.  Can't wait to see her moves.

Today they were up early to catch their flight to the Galapagos.  They will be there for 3 days.
They sound like they are having a great but exhausting time.   She wasn't sure that she would be able to access wi-fi on the islands so we may not hear from her until she returns to Quito.
