After being in Ecuador for 2 months, it was really nice to have a taste of Canada, which came in the form of Eric, a good friend from school, coming to visit me! I was able to take a bit of time off work and so we spent some days seeing parts of Quito I hadn’t seen yet, going to the Amazon Jungle (see next entry), and then checking out Mindo (see next next entry!). Eric’s trip unfortunately ... Read Full Entry

COMING SOON HOUSE ADVERTISING ads_leader_blog_bottom

The Basílica de Quito

Quite impressive.. I really love this building!

Look for the Gargoyles!

Quasi would have a fun time with these guys!

Up to the Clock Tower

Inside the Church itself

More Animals!

Such a fun part of it all to see and identify different animals!

Flying Butresses?

Almost I think! Knowing very little about architechure!

Look ma, it's my house!

So if we can see my house, and I can see the church, and there are free binoculars right beside this... no more naked nights.. damn

On Top of the Sancuary

Starting to feel like Quasi..

Up and UP and UP

Between the Two Towers...

(I'm referencing a bit too much in this blog..) ...you can see the Virgin (previous entry)

We made it to the one tower

Again my house

You'd think I was hoping for voyeurism.... lol

Ornate on the Outside

In the Clock Tower...

Unfortunatly no longer operated with gears and whatnot, just a plain old motor.

A Story with this one...

Richard and Diana went with us to the jungle (see next entry)... coincidence? I think not!

Back to the First tower

That's where we were looking towards the two towers.

Very Top of the Clock Towers

Yes, you could go right outside. No, it wasn't safe (don't listen mom!). Yes, it was fantastic!

Imagine I was this tall...

Ringing of the Bells

I always wondered why the bells of the Basílica rang at such weird times. Now I know: tourists.

This is the kind of ladders I mean!

lol... I love that you miss Tim Horton's the most out of everything in Canada... it's just not the same, not having 17 Timmy's within walking distance, is it? P.S. I accidentally hit the "unsubscribe" button on your blog e-mail, cuz I'm an idiot, so if I'm not on your list anymore, can you re-add me? Why do they make that the first link in the e-mail anyway????? They're just asking for ppl to accidentally unsubscribe!!!!!
