End of the historic center. The statue on the hill is called Panecillo, and is of the virgin Mary. We ate at the Pim's restaurant up on that hill on Friday night. The view was incredible.
The Santacruz family I spent the day with. Daniela, Janeth, me, Andrés, Jaime, and little Juan Pablo hiding behind Jaime. Notice the fresh coconut in my hand? I drank the juice, which was tasty-ish. I don't love the juice. The coconut was yummy though.
