Saturday, 21st November, Hacienda: leaving Quito
We leave Quito in convoy with our wonderful hosts. I get to go in the car for the one and a half hour drive south to a hacienda owned by Alicia, a friend of our hostess, Ann’s. The hacienda is an earthly paradise, and we spend the day with the 7 and 10 year old daughters of Ann and Gaston. Baby rabbits, chickens and dogs keep us busy all day, until we flake hard (how does anyone have children and have any energy at all?!)
