Weather

Pasto is sitting on the Equator but the elevation is at 8,000 feet. The weather is unpredictable, to say the least. If the sun is out it is hot. If the sun goes behind the clouds, which it does quite a bit, you need that sweater or jacket right away, which explains why the girls are always wearing the one sweatshirt that we brought in every picture. We have actually run into a problem because the laundry service here takes a day and so the girls didn't have a jacket for a day while we had them cleaned. The last week or two the weather has been really nice in the morning but by the afternoon there are thunderstorms and a lot of rain. The girls are actually from a region south of Pasto and most of the people say it is very cold there and that is why they have the red cheeks. We are thinking it could be the cold, but it may also have something to do with the agressive way they wash their face.
