El Mitad del Mundo

Today, we also stayed in the Quito area, but focused more on the "New City" area that is more modern. This first shot is of a few skyscrapers from a park next to the Museo del Banco Central, one of the most famous museums in Quito.



While exploring the new city, we stopped at a market where vendors sell handicrafts, clothes, jewelry and food. Imagine a dozen or so corridors like the one below in a row with about 10 vendors on each side.



This is just a shot of some broken glass bottles along a wall that I thought was cool.



Ahora, llegamos al Mitad del Mundo. This is the "middle of the world," and the yellow line divides the northern hemisphere (on the right) and the southern hemisphere. I have no idea how the people in the red and blue got into this picture. My apologies.



These next two are also in the Mitad del Mundo area.





Random dog.



After the Mitad del Mundo, we tried to go up to an area with great views of Quito from above, but there was a lot of fog so I couldn't get a good shot of the actual city from the lookout point. This one is of the road leading up to the lookout point.
