    A little excerpt of Quito from our bus ride.
    The Basilica.Crocheted flowers placed in some side altars -- lasts much longer than the real thing.One of the levels en route to the tower's observation deck.View of Quito from atop the Basilica.This was the access point to the viewing deck of the tower.Between the towers was this connection deck.The aforementioned connection deck is that roofed area leading to the towers on the other side.Mausoleum for Ecuadorian heads of state.Built in 1986, it's a good-sized facility.At the moment, only 4 or 5 people are buried here.Yes, you too could but one of these masks/hats.Approaching the Plaza San Francisco.
