Quito

We've arrived in Quito, and we're thankful to have made it last night. There was heavy fog at the airport, and indeed airport operations were halted immediately after our landing. We're now safely tucked into our Hotel, Sierra Madre, after a late night snack.

It is wet and chilly today, which makes the Quito tour less enticing. We may opt to spend more time at a jewel of a museum, the Museo del Banco Central. The name gives no indication of what is inside - fabulous artifacts from pre-Incan and pre-Columbian civilizations. Gold, Silver, pottery - it is an amazing collection.

Only one bag was lost in the trip down - MINE! It should arrive Thursday evening.
