After a full day of traveling to Quito, we slept in and had a great breakfast of huevos scrambled at our base; the Hotel Alisa; what a nice quaint place with a wonderful staff. Taxi to old town and in honor of Nicki we visited a few churches. Then to a pre-columbian spirit museum we both loved. More walking around old town and the area. A rest and an ice cream back at Plaza Grande. Quick taxi to the Itchimbia park where we could see the entire city and the valley- Awesome. A quick rainstorm , and I mean STORM , so we ducked inside for a while. On to the shopping area for a late lunch; shrimp cevichi for me and sea bass for Bonnie, yummy. Strolled until we found a nice shop and then bamm; my AmEx took a hit on some handicrafts- turtles, sea lions and blue footed boobies and we hadn't even arrived at the islands yet. Back to the hotel, our last FB and email for a week, a hot bath and shower and early to bed as we have a 5 am call for the airport to head to the Galapagos.
