Bob's World Tour #116

Quito, Ecuador


In Quito my camera failed and I was forced to rely on a cheap, locally bought camera. The quality of the results is therefore a little poorer.

Quito, Ecuador, the celebration before the bullfight.

(Note. You will not see any pictures here of the bullfights. I was there as the guest of a local bar owner but, though the locals were entertained and enthralled by it all, I found the event to be a horrible and sickening spectacle.)

Quito, Ecuador


"'If seven maids with seven mops swept it for half a year, do you suppose,' the Walrus said, 'That they could get it clear?' "

Quito airport, the day after the eruption, with a small army of people with sweeping brushes trying to clear the runways.

Quito is built on the side of an active volcano. While I was there, there was a minor eruption that kicked out a lot of fine white ash. The city looked like this the day after.
