Since I didn't get a chance to include many pictures in the last post, I thought I'd make this post just pictures. San Francisco Church, Quito. Built in 1649. We walked around the inside, but the monks were praying, so I didn't take any photos.
We walked past this church while they were having a little celebration.
El Parque Bulevar, Ibarra. You know, where we walked and I thought I was going to die.
Ecuador has created these campaigns for the past few years to promote the country worldwide and increase tourism. Last year was "Ecuador ama la vida" (Ecuador loves life). This year is "All you need is Ecuador." This symbol ties in to the campaigns somehow; it's on everything!
This was a fun (*sarcasm*) bridge in Parque Bulevar -- it moves whenever cars drive under it.
Looking out over the bridge.
Otavalango - El Museo del Pueblo Kichwa de Otavalo (http://otavalango.org/), the museum I visited with Blady.
They're reteaching people to weave on backstrap looms.
Traditional Otavalo clothing -- pre-Spanish contact.
Festival clothing
