Adventures in South America, Summer 2009
Quito, Ecuador July 20-24
Quito is a city of 1.8 million nestled in a high valley in the Andes. Being at such high elevation situated exactly on the equator, it always has days exactly twelve hours long and virtually unchanging weather. It is surprisingly cool—in the 50s oF at night and in the 60s or 70s during the day. This is a very old city, having been founded by the Spanish in 1538. The old colonial center is an architectural wonder with its spectacular cathedrals, hospitals and other buildings in the Spanish style. Surprisingly (to me) it is not the largest city in Ecuador. That honor goes to Guayaquil.

It took my daughter Liz and I 24 hours to travel from San Diego to Dallas, to Sao Paulo, switching airports in order to fly to Rio de Jainero. We are pretty tired, but thrilled to see this most beautiful city. Rio de Jainero is a city of eight million with a massive harbor and perhaps the most memorable physical location of any city in the world.
