The group had a fun day today! We got on the bus at 830 am and began our tour of Quito. First, we went to La Basilica Vato Nacional, which had a beautiful gothic exterior. From there we traveled to La Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús. We weren´t allowed to take any pictures inside there because of its gold leafing. The church was made and designed by Jesuits. Then we went to the Franciscan monastery. It was being remodeled. Then we went to see the Winged Virgin statue on top of El Panacillo. After returning to the hotel, we explored Quito on foot, in groups. We got lunch and some people went to the mall. Then we went to dinner at a very nice restaurant before returning to the hotel once again and now we´re writing this blog at 11.
