Ecuador farewell .........amen

The last day in Quito was spent exploring the religious sites in this amazing city. The rain finally stopped and we saw some beautiful churches. We also discovered the " shoe" district. It was a district with more shoe shops than people, and of course, being in possession of the worlds ugliest and flattest feet, not one shop had my size! Quitos most impressive church Basillica del Voto National had two towers to scale. Being on the receiving end of a slapping in a church in Greece, by an old lady, I was overally cautious. Approached by an old lady to buy religious junk, I politely said no, but she burst into tears, very loudly.......the hallways are large and echoey! Again. I ran away......

Shoe shopping, the first shop.


More shoes, happy days.
