Ali in Sex Cave - Bryan George
We arrive at the (mercifully dry) climb. Bryan suits up as George looks on. - IMG 3076
Another of the big plaza. The neat-o gothic building on the left is one of the many gigantic libraries here on campus. - IMG 3079

Pillows. This is the wonderful green chair that Leslie and I got from a church garage sale soon after we met. I was sure that there was no way that we were going to be able to fit it in the box, but George came along to help (the 2,387th friend he helped move that week) and figured out how we could stuff it all in there. - Clare climbs 5

Here's Sieg Hall (har, har, i know), the old and venerable if butt-ugly CS building. - IMG 2846 002
Old Town. We are staying in new town, so we decided to visit some of the old buildings and churches and stuff, which I actually find to be pretty outrageously boring. - George laughs

Mitad del Mundo. A monument erected on the equator, which is about 30km north of Quito. Quite impressive, even though it's about 100m off the actual mark, which they discovered only six years ago using GPS and GIS. Oops! - IMG 2815
The box, nearly full. George himself did not eventually end up inside (but we could have fit him). - IMG 3083
Here's the Allen Center, the brand-new CS building that all of the department is moving into in a month.
