The Museo de Sitio La Florida is a tiny museum on the outskirts of Quito that no one seems to know anything about. Our taxi driver assured me he knew where it was, but it took about five inquiries and three different GPS to find it. It is a burial site that goes back thousands of years and the bodies of the wealthy were still dressed in their shell garments. The poor were buried in hand woven garments what have been replicated. Our tour guide spoke no English, but I figured out most of what he was explaining. There were wonderful examples of pottery, gold jewelry and other artifacts from the early Andeans. Thankfully our taxi driver waited for us or we might still be wandering around that little suburb. Glad I this one out. Beautiful display and beautiful building, just out of the way.
