The Basillica like most Basillica’s have gargoyles to drain the rain water from the steep roof. These however are very special gargoyles as they represent the animals of Ecuador. They represent the Amazon, the Andes and the Galapagos Islands. The gargoyles below are animals from the Galapagos. The center photo from the right has penguins, pelicans, frigates, blue and red footed boobies, masked boobies

As we leave Lucas our guide needs a volunteer to wear the traditional mask of the indigenous people of Ecuador. Greg steps up. The mask has faces on both sides so you can see who is behind you 🙂
Off we go to see more of Quito. In the Historical Center the police ride seques. Carlos our guide challenges us to throw a coin into a frogs mouth to win a free ice cream cone. We find a spot for lunch and Greg needs to use the facilities. The door comes up to his shoulder and the toilet has the stairs above it. Must watch the head. Quito has many streets that are flights of steps. Street vendors selling many many items. The fellow below is wielding his machete to take the husks off of coconuts. We enjoy a delicious ice cream and find an interesting sign.
A long day over we are happy to head to bed again.
Looks like so much fun
