Singing "De Colores!"


Otavalo is home of the largest handicrafts market in all of South America. They have a handmade crafts market, a food market, and an animal market! I am decidedly bad at bargaining. I simply feel bad paying so little for something that took such work. I’ve got a feeling that my skill at haggling will improve relative to my money dwindling. 

Below is the most magnificent rainbow I have ever seen in my life. I saw it when atop the mountain at Parque Condor. Unfortunately, these pictures do not convey the grandeur and expansiveness of this sight. 

You could clearly see the rainbow's end in the town below

It went up, up, up . . .

and over the mountain range

ALL the way over

landing on the other side

and just when i thought it couldn't possibly be more breathtakingly beautiful - a double rainbow appeared!

  1. What a Beautiful Picture! I certainly know what you mean when you say that the picture doesn't do it justice. I've seen a few things like that myself. Just remember, when you look back on these pictures later, you will see the real thing in your heart! Love you!
