Quito is a big city, but the original part of the city is called "El Centro Historico" and it has hundreds (yes, hundreds) of churches in the area, so it's very pretty and very old, colonial, has cool architecture, etc. Well, today I went to the Plaza Grande and toured a few museums and churches, because there's a huge festival going on and museum and art gallery tours are free. Live drum lines, music, dances, general fun-ness. It was very cool, and only a 5 minute bus ride south of my house!
This is the view of one of the churches/museums and the winged statue of Quito in the background. It's a landmark around town, and very pretty at night.
This is the big gothic church at the top of the hill that you can see from basically anywhere in the city. It is HUGE and really pretty.
The Plaza Grande, well part of it. It's a very pretty plaza that is the center of the Centro Historico.
Well, that's all I have for now. Have a good weekend!
