Here is Omar our delightful driver who picked us up at the airport and delivered us safely to our hotel.

The beautiful little courtyard where we ate breakfast and dinner.

This is a view from our room.

This is one of the main streets.  They are all narrow but extremely clean.

A colorful mural that decorated the front of the Municipal building. 

Our fist picture of the Andes with a light dusting of snow. 
Notice the odd combination of a palm trees, an interesting type of pine,
snow on the mountain, 8000ft elevation and 70 degree temperature.

The courtyard is surrounded with geraniums, bougainvillea, ferns and other assorted plants.

Our room is modest and clean with a large bed covered with 3 heavy wool blankets that keep us toasty warm at night.
