Following a leisurely breakfast in the courtyard at Guachala, we made our way south towards Cotopaxi.  We are staying in the Tambopaxi Lodge who's playground served as an excellent location for learning crevasse rescue techniques against the backdrop of multiple volcanoes: Sincholagua, Ruminahui and most importantly, Cotopaxi.  It was an excellent day to give the body some rest while also learning some mountain skills.  Seeing the mountain got us all psyched for the next couple of days, especially because you can clearly see the hut and the route from Tambopaxi.  One member of the team even snapped a great night photo of Cotopaxi, that's not a stock photo!
