Dance Parties on cable cars

Today we split up into two groups:

Group one went to the dump and helped out at the day care: Sean, Ryan, Stephen, Courtney, Tori, Victoria, Jackie
-they watched the kids, cleaned toys for the day care, and painted a few murals for the kids

Group two went to the church we attended last Sunday: Matt, Michael, Sam, Sami, Katherine, Teddy, Bradley, and Carl
-we painted desks and chairs and tables for the Sunday school classes and helped cut up their shelving units to create more efficient storage.

Both groups ate lunch at the sites and we all met back up at the guest house. From there we went to the cable cars. Riding up it wasnt cloudy, so we had great views of the mountains and Quito. We got off at the top and walked around on top of the mountain..the clouds were sooo cool...we were in them! We had fun times on those cars....the ride up/down was 15 minutes. Tim had everyone else in the car duck down and pretended to cry when another car went by. For another one everyone picked their noses...good stuff. (we fit roughly six to a car).

From there we went to a mall in Quito and ate at a food court..yummy stuff!

A lot of people are sick, so when we got back to the house we talked and then everyone basically went to bed.
