They like their churches in Quito, this is the first one we went into. Where I took some photos before I got Church fatigue.

This Church is still being built, and has been 'under construction' for 120 years.

It's pretty grand in most of the churches. There was one where the inside was almost entirely covered in gold leaf. But you weren't allowed to take photos.

We climbed up that tower. There was a lift but the guide said he got stuck in it for 3 hours the week before so we took the stairs, then a ladder.
