The following photos are of our trip to Quito. I took a few shots from the car window and we also visited an Observatory to get a view of Quito.
Streets of Northern Quito
The observatory from which you can see the entire length of Quito down below. Quito is very skinny and long down in between 2 ranges of the Andes. Makes for an amazing view from up top.
From inside Observatory


Cintia, Agusta´s daughter

Basilica Cathedral in the center
Even from here, you can see the Panecillo, a statue of Mary above the top of that hill there, supposedly watching over the entire city.A few more pics from street







Theses are some photos of Agusta´s house, our good friend and mother hen.
These are just rough shots taken out the window of the car, on our way to Quito to give you an idea of what we are surrounded by every day.



The view from the valley below where we live up to the very edge of the city of Quito.

A couple shots of the front of our house, our street, the kingdom hall, the view from our rooftop, etc…

Yay, more pictures! I especially like seeing the ones that show how your valley and the city of Quito are situated there, with the surrounding mountains. The statue of Mary reminds me of the statue you see in shots of Rio de Janeiro, seems to dominate everything.
Very glad you both arrived safe and are aclimating well. Your stories are great. Love the experiences you have already had and thanks for sharing about the brothers there. For those of us still in the States you girls are offering us the chance to share your experiences.
Thanks-
Wish I could send that breakfast jack!!!
