Libby and Daniel's Travel Blog. Thursday, December 23, 2010. Christmas Carols.en espańol. Last night we trolley-hopped down to the "old city" to see "Navidad en el Sucre", a free Christmas concert at the Teatro Nacional Sucre. An Andean flute looks like this. And produces a beautiful, soothing sound. We enjoyed listening to Spanish Christmas carols, including classics such as "Rudolfo el Reno de Nariz Roja" (who, in some versions, has a nose like a tomato). Links to this post.

Libby and Daniel's Travel Blog. Sunday, September 27, 2009. Today Dan and I decided to get up and out of the city - and I am so glad we did. We headed West to the teleferico (i.e. gondola) that takes tourists and locals up to the base of Pichincha, a volcano on the edge of Quito. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about Pichincha: http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pichincha Volcano. At that point, we decided that the spot where we stood would be our 'summit' and we promptly turned around! Anyway, it was a fant...

Libby and Daniel's Travel Blog: November 2010
http://libbyanddaniel.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Libby and Daniel's Travel Blog. Tuesday, November 16, 2010. To blog or not to blog? But if people who write about how often they change their baby's diapers can get people to read their blogs then I'm sure I can think of something that people will want to read! Perhaps having a blog would motivate me to get back out into the wilds of Ecuador and start travelling again. Send me a message if you want this blog to live! Links to this post.

Libby and Daniel's Travel Blog: June 2011
http://libbyanddaniel.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Libby and Daniel's Travel Blog. Sunday, June 5, 2011. Reflection: Quito, Two Years Later. This week I entered a photo competition coordinated by my friends Jenn and Gabrielle (through their organization The Spotlight Project). For which the theme was “Show us your neighbourhood’s personality”. Dan and I both submitted photos which you can see in the online gallery here. I have to wonder: to what extent do the places in which we live become a part of us? More importantly, perhaps, what do we leave behind?

After a hectic week of marking at the end of the grading period, we had a four-day weekend for the Carnaval. Holiday. Dan was craving a last chance to surf here in Ecuador, and I was craving some beach time, so we decided to head to Mompiche.
