Our
time in Quito began with dinner at a museum |
|
Surrounded
by information and artifacts of indigenous people |
and
food of the local culture like this ceviche |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
"To
go to the market is an ancestral tradition" A tradition that we wanted to be part of |
|
 |
|
"We
take care of our cleanliness because you are important to us" |
|
 |
 |
Religious
tradition included throughout the marketplace |
|

A
Tree Tomato |
