Teleferico

View while riding up in a cable car.

We were tourists for an afternoon and went to the Teleferico to ride a cable car up the mountain! We actually went up the mountain right next to the one that's behind our dorm. We rode up for about 15 minutes - my ears were popping. It was an amazing view from the top! I definitely understood how it could take 2 hours to get from end to end! The city looked so beautiful - we were fortunate to have a fairly clear day. It was a little chillier and windy on the mountain top, and even harder to breathe. We walked a short trail to another look out, but didn't go too far.  And of course we took lots of photos!

We were over 12,000ft up!

I don't feel bad not knowing where I'm going in Quito...
