Yesterday I spent half day in bed, recovering from too much ron. Then I met William from Couch Surfing, we met and had a coffee in the historic center. Suprisingly William is a common name in Ecuador, I thought it was a very English name.
The historic centre of Quito is beautiful, with a huge statue of Virgin Mary on the top of the nearby hill (well, it has to be either Crist, Virgin Mary or a cross....). The district used to be very dangerous due to armed robberies only 3 years ago!! - it has been renovated since 2008 and now there are many private security guards around.
