Quito
My family loves Quito and after visiting the city I now know why. Quito got into my blood. Let me just give my thoughts about the city.
Most of the days we were there we had cool temperature along with fog and some rain.
On the first day we went up the highest mountain of the mountains around Quito. We took a chairlift to the top but it was foggy and rainy. We were so high up, over 12000 feet, that some of our team had trouble breathing.
The next few days we were busy visiting many different churches but had little time to do sight seeing. Here are some of the pictures of the city including the bull fighting arena.
We did drive through the old city and saw some of the historical churches. These churches stand in contrast with the small churches we visited. The old churches are rich and ornate but dead while the church plants were very poor and primitive but they were alive.
On Saturday we did have time to do some sightseeing. We went to the official sight of the Ecuador.
We then had lunch at a crater but it was too foggy to see anything.
Our next stop was the unofficial sight of the equator where we had the true experience of being on the equator.
Here Paul was able to get his GPS to register the true equator.
A few more pictures of the city.
I would like thank the Bible League of Canada, Bibles for Missions and the Multiplication Network. Thank you Paul and Dale, John and Angela, Juan Carlos and Saara, and a special thanks to Beto.
