The first part of May we had a four-day holiday weekend, so we decided to pack up the car and take Nathan on his first road trip. We went to the town of Tulcan, located about 4 - 6 hours (depending on the road, traffic and how many times you stop) from Quito. Santi's mom lives in Tulcan and this is also where Santi grew up.
Nathan did wonderfully on the trip - he played or slept in his car seat (all except for the last 1/2 hour when it obvious he had been sitting too long). He loved visiting his Grandma Emma and also meeting his Uncle Hernan and his wife.
We also enjoyed the beautiful Ecuadorian countryside - the scenery during the drive through the Andes Mountains is just incredible. Hopefully you enjoy the photos (all taken from the car as we were driving along).

It's cold in Tulcan
Meeting Uncle Hernan and his wife
Entrance way to Santi's family's home - the open patio in the middle of the house
Notice the ceramic tiled rooftop
And the beautiful Ecuadorian countryside!
A small town nestled in the moutains
Farming on the mountainside
And one lane of the highway was closed off in the town of Chota as they were drying out red beans

It is such a joy to see Nathan's life unfold and your lives of service through your blog. Of course I wish I could be there to see it live.
Love,
