Bats in the Belfry



We spent the past couple of days in Quito taking advantage of the conveniences of a major city- sending mail, restocking mosquito repellent, trying to exchange books. We did manage a nice photo outing to Quito’s basilica… an amazing building where we not only climbed to the top for an amazing view of the city; we actually clambered through the structure of the church itself. We explored the skeleton of the building, which was fascinating. We just arrived in BaƱos today…. There are so many shops offering Amazon tours, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and 4-wheeler rentals that it’s overwhelming. I think we have an exciting week ahead of us before continuing South.


(We were amused to see the selection of bowls, bongs, and flasks available at the Basilica gift shop...)

(Megan's tired of taking photos of churches and wants to go do something else now...)
