Hello. We're home. Didn't get time to do the last post from Quito. We did not go to Ambato but did catch a fantastic Carnaval parade in south Quito. No pics, however - fear of theft (tough section of the city) and getting the camera soaked with water/flour or spray foam. As it happens, we managed to avoid both problems. Instead, we spent our last day in the Casa de Cultura (excellent ethnography museum), and a botanical garden, which had lowland and upland flowers (lotta orchids)...
...a carnivorous plant house - Dana loved it, not sure why...
...a fresh water fish "garden" (most from the headwaters of the Amazon I believe), and...
... a "Vivarium", holding reptiles...
stuff at the outer fringes of the amazing biodiversity of this extraordinary country.
