Andes Mountains

One of the highlights of our Galapagos trip was driving via bus through the Andes mountains from Quayaquil to Cuenca, Ecuador. We couldn't see the top of the moutains because of the clouds. Then we drove through them!

Here is a picture I took at about 12,000 feet. The clouds formed a celestial carpet. At one of our stops we actually gave God a hand of applause. It just seemed like the right thing to do! It felt like we were at the place where heaven meets earth.

One of the highlights was screeching brakes as we descended the mountain in the dark. We were two inches from hitting a horse that was crossing the road. And Parker was in the front seat. He was eye-to-eye with the horse. They'll never forget each other :)
