We just flew in to Quito for a weekend get-away. The capital city is completely different from Guayaquil. It’s twice as high as Denver, and you can really feel the difference in the air. Quito is truly in the mountains. Most of the city streets are steep like in San Francisco. Along the streets are colorful old buildings and churches, giving Quito a unique personality.
We had dinner in what they call “Gringoville,” which is a way of saying “tourist trap,” but it was refreshing and relaxing. (You know you’re in a tourist trap when you hear Bob Marley on repeat.) Tomorrow, we have an early morning for a day of exploring.
