Where do you live?

[Erato]

And I live in one of the low spots in Pichincha, at ~9,350 feet.

  My approximate location is in my profile. About 200 ft above sea level!

A Rootschatter's location is included in their profile, if they choose to include it.

It is really helpful if people do complete that information if only the country they are living in then we don’t suggest visiting archives that are nowhere near their home.

I agree totally with that.

Do you get any kind of "altitude sickness", but in reverse?

I live in Norfolk and was born and raised in Norfolk but to Essex parents who both had some Norfolk blood in them so it is like they "came home". Actually some ancestors came from just a few miles from the village in East Norfolk that I grew up in. Likely many distant cousins in my school.

No, when I go down to the coast, I don't feel much difference.  I'm used to Quito, of course, but I do feel the altitude at La Paz (the airport is at 13,000 feet).  They have medical personnel stationed in the terminal there, with oxygen bottles for tourists who are overcome by altitude sickness.  Ditto on some of the train routes over the Andes in Peru.
