Mr. Hunter attempted to camouflage himself among nesting dolls at the Piccadilly Market.

Totoro, Totoro, Totoro, and Mr. Hunter

Mr. Hunter has spent time with Totoro before, but on the shelves of Magma Books in London he found himself encircled by Totoro, Chu Totoro, and even a couple of Chibi Totoros.

They also sold Moomin-themed items!

Molino San Juan

After visiting the equator, we drove further on the Pan American Highway to Molino San Juan, where we'd be having lunch.  Molino San Juan is an old grain mill in Cayambe.  

Mr.  Hunter introduces himself to some clay figures on a shelf at Molino San Juan. 

Mr. Hunter liked the colors on this door.

Before lunch, we were treated to a demonstration on how to make bizcochos, a biscuity, buttery sort of cookie that is quite popular in Cayambe.  Here's one traveler's blog post about bizcochos.

The bizcochos are served!

We saw many signs
advertising bizcochos in Cayambe.
This was my favorite one.

Some more places to find bizcochos...

Happy Halloween!

Can't say that I was surprised when Mr. Hunter insisted on communing with these Halloween-themed chocolates at Fortnum & Mason in London.

Chocolate mummy, anyone?
