New Quito Pics--Marine ball and more

Here's a few pics from the past week. We went to the Marine Ball on Saturday to celebrate the 234th Birthday of the Marine Corps. It's an Embassy tradition as the Marines guard the mission and make sure we're safe. I wasn't feeling great as I was starting a bout of South American belly, but we had a good time.

Happy Birthday, Marines!

Not a bad view from our room: Cotopaxi.
