Sunday in Quito
We went to Quito to wander in the old section of town. They have preserved manyof the old buildings and now have artisan shops and restaurants. It feels like you are in an old European town. We stumbled upon a religious procession/parade....something about 90 days after Easter. All the schools of Quito were represented and many of the people were dressed in folk costume dancing their native dance. I actually didn't feel like a total tourist bringing out my camera and snapping photos as parents and relatives were all doing the same. ¡Qué lindo! KS

These are awesome pics. I love the bowler hats they wear, I read someplace about the beginning of the tradition of women wearing the stark black mens bowler hat, apparently it was an overstock issue and marketing genius. Have you heard anything about that? :) Awesome to see the parade.
ReplyDeleteHave not heard of that, but it sounds brilliant!
