Historic Quito

  The group took a walking tour through the historic colonial quarter of Quito.

 Independence Plaza

Metropolitan Cathedral

Municipal cultural Center with Hubby photo bombing!

I bought a small picture from Sigundo.

Various street vendors in Quito

Compania of Jesus Church 

The inside of the church is completely covered in gold leaf. No photos are allowed once you enter the church.

Above the entryway is a balcony containing  the church organ. There is a painted staircase to balance the real staircase in order to provide symmetry as you look from the pulpit to the entrance.
