One of the fun things we learned was how they made roses with different colored petals - they take a white rose and split the bottom of the stem and place the different parts into bowls of colored water! And yes, they grew purple roses!! On our short drive to Quito we passed Cotopaxi volcano - the highest active volcano in the world. Unfortunately the Cotopaxi National park has been closed since an eruption in August, but we enjoyed seeing it from the highway (lots of clouds at peak).
