The Festival of the Elderly
Activities: We went to Parque Itchimbia. "Der stand in keinem meiner Reiseführer. Er war schon fast unheimlich leer, gilt aber als absolut sicher. Dabei bietet er dem Auge einen Festschmaus, denn dort liegt einem Quito langgestreckt zwischen den beiden Vulkanketten der Sierra zu Füßen." (It wasn't in any of my travel guides. It was almost eerily empty, but is considered absolutely safe. It offers a feast for the eyes, because there Quito lies stretched out between the two volcanic chains of the Sierra at your feet)
Highlights: The views of Quito from the park were amazing. It was a quieter and safer place ✨
