So Quito is a pretty cute city and way more modern than any of the cities in Peru! Its very American-ized esp compared to Peru and Brazil but then again, there is no Ecuadorian currency - they use American dollars which is so odd but sometimes you get a mix of Ecuadorian coins and american coins for change. Who knows - random.
We did a whirlwind of sightseeing today - went to check out the Historic centre, the view from a famous monument and we went to the centre of the world - actually! There is a spot just outside Quito that is at the equator, where you can be in two hemispheres at the same time! Yes, its geeky but its a touristy thing to do so we went.
The most interesting part of our day was taking a private salsa class at a Dance school in the Mariscal district of Quito - we have a long way to go but we are signed up for another class with the same teacher on Thurs when we get back from Banos, which is a city known for its spas and hot springs! Should be a relaxing few days!
