The Basilica
Quito
Fun and Games
Sunset, not a volcano eruption.
So the little town of Tambillo has 3 internet cafes, but unfortunately the internet speed is awful and they do not open on a Sunday, doh! The lions and ocelots and pumas and coatis and etc etc are still keeping me enterained but there is not as much interaction and work with the animals here so there is far more physical, and at times, tedious manual work, so for the sake of my sanity and possibly my health for diving (it gets really cold at night) I may finish a little early at the centre and go back to Banos for a wallow in the hot springs. But we shall see how the week pans out. As for this past weekend I had a day trip into Quito and a little culture walking around the old town and visiting the Basilica with its rather high towers, which you can climb up and look out all over the city, an amazing view. It was also festival weekend - celebrating the first, thwarted, attempt at independence. There were a lot of people around and lots of music stages and people dressed in fancy costumes and bands playing with singing and dancing so quite an entertaining day. Sunday was spent reading, taking it easy and making sure I have pictures of everything that I want a picture of - unfortunately I still can not update them to the blog, sorry.
