These pictures are from my first weekend here, when we went to el Centro Historico de Quito (the historic district).  We went to one big church and the basilica.  The first picture is the first church, and the rest are from the basilica.  A man working at the basilica gave us  tour of the catacombs under the church where people are still buried.  There’s space for thousands of people in the catacombs and people are continually being buried there.  Then we climbed up the towers to see all around Quito.  In the picture with the two square towers, we were under the clock on the left.  Then we went over to the small, pointy tower where it looks like people shouldn’t go.  It was a really nice day to see the city, it was kind of cloudy but we still had a really great view.
