Quito, Ecuador- Day 2

Day 2 in Quito:
Our first event of the day was the Teleferiqo which took us up into the mountains high above Quito.  We enjoyed great views of the city, surrounding villages and a hike at nearly 13,000 feet.
D overwhelmed with joy after surviving the gondola ride.  Me, the lucky guy.





Parque La Carolina: One of Quito's largest parks specifically designed for physical sports.  Paved bike path, bicycle jump park, separate walking/jogging path, multiple futbol fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, outdoor exercise equipment, botanical garden and of course an outdoor food court.  The land space committed and multiple uses of this park certainly rivals the city parks I've seen in the U.S.
