Hiking on the slanty slopes of Cotopaxi. Watching the pebbles fall off the path into the abyss below was frightening; even more frightening was my total lack of breath at this altitude.

Riding the bus in Ecuador provided some of the most amazing cheap views of the country. Gazing out the window I saw a red-cloaked man guiding his llama herd up the side of the hill. I was obsessed with llamas during this trip.

Changsha schoolkids | Changsha, China

Jeff and kids in Changsha

We visited an elementary school near the Hunan Normal University, where we were staying. The kids were cheek-pinchingly adorable, but the whole concept of setting a day aside to entertain us was sort of sad. Made me wonder how often they do this, and when they have time for classes.

At the entrance of the school. The children lined up to shake streamers vigorously at us while shouting "welcomeHELLO!" over and over. It was so cute it was kind of scary.
