Real Quick Trip Into Quito

Went into Quito to pick up two suitcases which had been left in storage for a month. Before the pickup we walked around in the Foche area. Of course we had to visit the market place selling the tourist knick knacks.

Then we had fish, chicken and ceviche at a place called the Yasuni Cafe Bar. OK I did not have any ceviche. But I had the chicken steak or whatever it came as. This would not be the first place that served flat tasteless breast meat as a chicken meal. I was always hoping for a chunk of thigh or leg to give some flavor. But everyone thinks breast is the best. Nope, at least not on a chicken.

Then took a three dollar taxi to the historical section to pick up the suitcases. Also ran over to the Central Mercado to try out the GoPro in taking pictures of cow stomachs, tongues, fish and other regular food items the mall had. None of the pics worked as I had not figured out the GoPro yet! It started raining extremely hard just as we got there so the mall was a good location for protection. Took a non-legit taxi back to Tababela. It rained or poured most of the way. Rush hour traffic and constant broken down vehicles made for an erratic trip.

Back in Tababela at the Quito Airport Suites the sun was shining and it had not rained. We walked the few blocks to the store and bought bottled water and snacks for the evening.
