The closest shopping mall to where we stayed is El Bosque. Most days we went there to get some Juan Valdez coffee. We also loved a movie store that sold cheap DVDs. This day was a day to relax. We woke up early, had lunch at home, went to the mall, shopped for Ecuadorian candy and snacks to bring back home. We might have brought at least one carry-on full of chocolates and food.

Later that day we spent some time with Andre's family. That night, we had an invitation to a meat fondue at one of Andre's friend. We had a good time. I enjoyed listening to their childhood stories. Andre's friend was supposed to drive us to the Cotopaxi Volcano the following day. That night we found out that he could not take us. Since we only had one last full day in Ecuador, I was disappointed. The Cotopaxi was the one things that I wanted to see during this trip and I was going to have to wait. Andre got directions from his friends, and he said he knew how to take me there. I was excited for the following day. I have never seen snow!! Actually, I have but I was only 3 years old. I don't remember anything but there is a picture to prove it.
