Chocolate from Ecuador

The week before last we had a great time hanging out with our friends Kristen, Can, and Jennifer, who came to visit us from Seattle. We spent our days soaking up the sun poolside, eating our way around town, and touring the sites. We were sad to see them go!

Last week Scott went to Quito on a business trip. Quito, the capital of Ecuador, sits at an elevation of more than 9,000 feet, at the base of the Pichincha volcano. Unfortunately, though there is much to see in Quito (it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978), Scott didn't have any free time. But he did bring me back some Ecuadorian chocolate! Ecuador is known for having some of the best chocolate in the world, and I can't say that I disagree!
