This is the sight from our window.  The gold and white building is a basilica and the Gothic cathedral behind it offers the opportunity to climb to the top for great views of Quito.  We definitely won’t do much climbing today.  We walked uphill to breakfast.  We purchased 2 bisochos, 2 empanadas, and 2 ingritos , 2 jugos naranja and 2 bottled waters  for 3 dollars.  It seemed like a good deal to me.  For $1.25 we added two mangos, 4 banana and two papayas from the fruiteria and coffee and milk from the convenience store came to another 3 dollars.  Troy shared part of our treasure with a Viejo who seemed very grateful.  That little trek wore us out.  We are following everyone’s advice and taking these first days at a slow pace.  We are about to check out lunch and the Mercado.
