Quito

Quito, Ecuador's capital, constructed on the foundations of an ancient Incan city. It’s known for its well-preserved colonial center, rich with 16th- and 17th-century churches and other structures blending European, Moorish and indigenous styles. These include the cathedral, in the Plaza Grande square, and ultra-ornate Compañia de Jesús Jesuit church.

Walk and acquaintance in Quito

I went for a walk around the city again today. Noted that there are a lot of wires. No less than a web or even a neural network of electricity. And it makes it very difficult to take pictures...

Walk around Quito

Finally I got out to look at the capital of Ecuador - the ancient and beautiful city of Quito. It stretches over a huge distance because multi-storey buildings are practically not built here. Living in a mountain valley is not a quiet life on the plain.

The past days were so full of events and experiences that I really missed sitting quietly in one place and doing nothing...
