This morning we went to a small archaeological site in the La Florida Barrio of Quito. These pre-incan tombs were discovered whole excavating for building.
Then we crossed town by bus and climbed the big hill to the Guayasamin foundation and Capilla des Hombre. Guayasamin is considered Ecuador's most illustrious artist. His house, studio, artworks, and Chapel of man are a museum now. His dark work deals with the suffering, anger and hope of mankind.
At the end of the day we took the Teleferico gondola to the top of the hill on the west side of town. Quito is at 8000 feet. We were on top of the world looking down.
