Cathedrals in the sky and Holy Virgins on a hill - some of the beauty Quito had to offer. We spent our two days there jumping from cathedral to city square to art museum, all essential stops but the non-stop itinerary allowed little time to soak up the fact that we were finally in Ecuador, however, maybe that was intentional. The best memories come from time spent getting to know a new friend during late night chats and exploring the discotecas - apparently a group of gringos is in high demand at Ecuadorian clubs on Wednesday nights because we were able to convince them to let us drink for free. Quito was fun but Cuenca’s colonial architecture and slower pace make it a better place to settle in for a time.
