Buenos dias!!! This weekend some of my friends and I went on a little excursion to a lake. I thought, we have thousands of lakes in Minnesota; this won't be anything new. But with the mountains and everything, it was really spectacular. The town and lake are called Quilotoa. It was a kind of torquoise color. The lake is in a volcanic crater, so no water comes in or out.
The day we got there we walked down into the crater a little, and then we took horses back up. They were actually more like mules. They crater is at about 3.800 meters above sea level, so walking around gets pretty strenuous.
Our hostal was super basic. We met some Italians staying there. Also, there was a monkey, Juanito. He obviously does not belong in the mountains, but he was really cute.
On Sunday we walked all the way around the crater. At such a high altitude, it was pretty tricky. We had to take many breaks. It took about 4 hours to go around. It was absolutely beautiful.

That is the most gorgeous picture of anything ever. I can only imagine what it was like in real life.
