More Glimpses of Ecuador





Pictures:
#1:  Mary and Landon at the indigenous museum on the equator near our home.  If you come to visit us, we promise to take you.  You'll be able to do several fun experiments which prove that you're on the equator.

#2:  Chimborazo:  You see this volcano when you travel to Riobamba, about 4 hours south of Quito.  Stan and Landon have climbed up almost to the top.

#3:  Cayambe:  Recently when driving around Quito, we got a rare glimpse of this beautiful mountain.

#4:  This cathedral is found on a town square in Riobamba.  When you travel through Ecuador you see the remains of the Spanish conquistadors that overthrew the Inca empire.  This is one example.

Looks like you are enjoying your trip around Ecuador. The weather, the colonial cities and the people of this country are just fantastic. Nothing compares to the landscapes of the Highlands, the lush of the Amazon Jungle Forest, the exotic Beaches of the Coast and the mystery of the Galapagos Islands.
