Quito, Ecuador

Well, the end is near... i´m here in Quito, Ecuadors capital trying to get organized. As my trip finishes up, i realized i´ve accumulated quite a bit of junk! the city itself is beautiful, broken up in to two main areas. Old town, the historical area, were most of the old buildings are small, and painted white ( a result of trying to erradicate disease by painting all the homes with lime), and the new town, the urban center with its big buildings and busy streets. I´ve some how become allergic to museums. As much as i should try and take in the sights compeletly, as it is my last city here, i´m just fed up with being a toursit, so aside from a little walk around the old city, i´ve been spending my time enjoying what Quito has to offer in a non touristy way, movie theaters, good resturants, ect. Also trying to stay warm in this mountainy area, and missing the beach very much! The pics below are of a few of the buildings in old town, really lovely and colonial. As i have plans to return to ecuador with my sister to go to the Galapagos, you´ll have to wait until my next visit for more exciting pics of quito and around!
