Our first full day in Quito. We were a little bit pooped because we didn't get to the hotel until almost 1:00 am. But, we sure as hell weren't going to sleep in. I have to tell you that the part of Quito we are staying in looks a little bit thread bare. Lots of people pan handling and selling crap on the streets. We went over to the heritage museum which turned out to be pretty interesting - if you spoke Spanish. Taking pictures of stuff in the streets was quite demoralizing. Anyway, as we were leaving the museum, I spied this cool reflection of clouds in the windows of the museum.

We ended up walking back to the hotel and picking up a bottle of Chilean wine and a couple bottles of Ecuadorian beer, both of which were quite good. We also got some sandwiches at a Spanish deli, which were also good. Ginny was asleep before dark. That is good as well. Actually, all in all a pretty good day. Tomorrow we are of to the Avenue of the Volcanos.
