Christmas in the Andes
We spent our Christmas a little differently in 2017. On our way back from a week long cruise through the Galapagos islands, we spent a few lights in the Andes mountains of Ecuador. We booked our stay at a bed and breakfast compound a short distance outside of Quito. This beautiful mountainside property was full of lush green vegetation and a view of the mountains. My mother, Aunt Lynda and cousin Matthew shared a cozy cottage with a huge wood fireplace. With poor cellphone service, the cottage offered us a chance to unplug from everything. Although we did not have technology to keep us entertained, we were entertained by the beautiful views and hiking paths.
