Quito, part 2

Feb 21, 2014
Moved from the Hilton Colon to Hotel Catedral Internacional, in Old Town, impressed with the architecture, narrow streets and happy people




Flavored whip cream to top a fresh fruit salad. Dave chose an ice-cream. who had more calories?

No wonder I have pudgy cheeks

Cultural center featuring World Press Photo Contest this week


2nd place nature category, the Australian cassowary

1st place... penguins making their landing !


Life situations... prostitution in the fields of Viet Nam 

Looking down from second floor on the display and the Owl Den restaurant. Yum!




Some dimensional art next door










Local street vendor

Safe place eh?

Traditional dress of Ecuador....no, not Dave
There is my penguin again, awesome photo.

Today, Saturday, Feb 22, off to a seven hour double decker, jump on, jump off tour.

Experiencing some altitude issues here, not serious but need to chew cocoa leaves. It is only 7000 feet here so I should really feel the effects in Cuzco at 16,000 ft.
