    I've only been up about as high as 14,000 feet.  That's it for me.

    Quito, Ecuador.  The first couple of days there I found it a bit hard to breathe, but by the third day, I was good.  Quito is a beautiful city, friendly and welcoming to visitors even when they don't speak Spanish.  They work on the US Dollar, so no exchange rates and very inexpensive cost of living.  If I had to leave the states, this is definitely a place I would seriously consider.  Fantastic weather - mornings between 55-65 and during the date it's 65-75.

    Yeah, altitude is tough until your body gets used to it. It sounds like a very nice place.

    It's one of the nicest places I've been.  I'm not a humid, hot weather person, so that climate was perfect for me.

    Still ain't high enough to keep me from getting to you. Airliners fly higher than that. This post was edited by Slartibartfast at November 7, 2018 7:37 PM MST

    What about the lowest valley, that trench in the Ocean?

    Ain't no valley low enough.

    Well, how about Mariana Trench?  I can't find the picture I know I have one.
