We arrived in Quito, Ecuador late last night, after a bit of a rocky approach in a thunder storm. We joined up with our travel friends on Saturday morning for our city tour. The Ecuador landscape is green on the Andes mountain. We are up at an altitude of 9000 ft. The city scape is modest but not poor. We did hit some light afternoon rain after lunch. Interesting facts we learned today: this country's currency is the American Dollar and coin and roses are a major export due to the mild, consistent weather. Two dozen roses can be had for US$1.
