Trip Update Nov 2010 FL, Ecuador and Galapagos, Part 6

Tarzan - the tree climbing sea lion
Harbour at Puerto Ayora
San Francisco Plaza and Church
Equator Monument

We left the Galapagos on Census day. Everyone was required to remain in their house until 5 PM. When we flew into Quito, which is the capitol of Ecuador, the streets were empty. It would have been the perfect day to film a Si-fi movie, where aliens abducted the entire city’s population. Only a handful of locals were available to transport visitors to their hotels. It was a very quick trip across town as our driver ran every red light.
We made plan to tour the city the next day, but traveler’s diarrhea stopped by for an uninvited visit. With me preoccupied, Pat and two other guests toured the Old City and the Equator Exhibit with a tour guide.
