Family Get Together In Colonial Quito

Last Saturday, we enjoyed a family "get-together" with Santi's family - all of his uncles and aunts were there. It was fun to see everyone and catch up with his cousins. We took a couple of photos of our dessert because it was so unique - we were just expecting a basic bowl of ice cream - imagine our surprise when it came out served on dry ice! Everyone enjoyed it!

The restaurant was located in Colonial Quito - right on the plaza where the Presidential Palace is along with a church and the municipal building. The President of Ecuador typically eats his lunch in the same restaurant. I didn't take any photos outside that night (as it was raining), but I have included a couple of photos of Colonial Quito from another occasion to give you an idea of the beauty of downtown Quito.
