We flew all day on November 10th and got to Equador late that night. We had rented a place on Air B&B, but when we got there, there was no one there to greet us. We tried calling the number in the listing and no one answered. So we got a cab and went down the road to a very expensive hotel. Good start to the vacation. The next morning, we got up and walked around Quito.
Basilica del Voto Nacional. This church looks really old, but it is actually one of the newest churches in Quito. It opened in 1924. It has all of the strange gargoyle like things on it, but instead of being gargoyles, they are animals that are indigenous to Equador.
Armadillo gargolyes
Caiman gargoyles
Baboon gargoyles
Turtle gargoyles

Compania de Jesus Chuch in Quito. It is all lined in gold.

It started to rain and I have never seen rain come down so hard and so fast. The streets were flooded in a matter of minutes.
No trip would be complete without pictures of the food.
