Day 3 cont'd: Quito

We have accomplished so much. What a great day it was! Supplies were delivered and everyone worked so hard. Supports are in for the courtyard wall. The shield is 75% painted in again. The first wall upstairs is laid out and the doors have been ordered. Window holes have been cut into the interior wall by George in the back room. The ladies from the church cooked us a feast to show their appreciation. I bought them 2 doz. roses in thanks.

The feast consisted of all native indigenous foods that are only prepared on very special occasions. This is where I cannot wait to be able to show you pictures!!!!! We had: Roasted cuy (coo eee, guinea pig), roasted chicken, plaintains, rice, broccoli, regional papas (potatos), choclo (a hominy type corn), a radish salad from the garden outside, bananas, melon.

The meal was incredible! Everyone was stuffed, and yes a few of us enjoyed the cuy! I ate an entire one. Bob Goyette ate half of one. Jackie and George each ate half of one. Marilyn, David, Father Drew, and Betty tried it as well!
