As promised, more pics from my brothers stay here in ecuador. there are some random ones, and a few from Plaza Grande, which is in central Quito.
this is right after Luke and I were playing this soccer game we invented in my front yard... ya, it was raining a little bit.
doing some homework at one of our frequently visited spots..
these are two security guards in plaza grande. i thought it was really random this guy had a sword..
this is some sort of government building. i think maybe congress... ya that sounds right!
a cool church, not sure the name of it.. its also in plaza grande.
i do know this one! this is the presidential palace. if you look closely you can see protestors in the back. im not sure what they were protesting, but it was very interesting to see...
not sure again on this one..sorry!! im so bad at this. but, underneath this building there are shops and cafes. pretty cool. this is also where luke went in to use the el bano, and forgot to pay the required .25! im pretty sure he didn't know what was going on, but the look on this ladies face was pricless, she had her hand out....but he just walked on by! i guess maybe i should have paid it...oops!
the same church in plaza grande...
walking down a road near plaza grande...
this is iglesia compania. it s beautiful church in centro historico. inside everything is gold plated.. its very cool. we weren't supposed to take any pictures inside (not sure why) but my heathen brother attempted to take one, but he rushed it (you know how if you shake/move the camera as it takes, it comes out all blurry??) and it didn't turn out..

I will teach you how to Mongol wrestle and I could turn you into a Nadeem champion (Mongol Summer Festival)! Grand Prize is a car, a camel, a ring, and 100,000RMB (about $14,000USD). Granted, the question before getting beat down by an old man like me is can your self-image take such damage?
Kidding sir! In return, you could beat me down in Football, Basketball, and every other sport where mass is not an advantage! Miss you man! Talk to you later!!!!
Nice pics there. I hate that cathedral picture rule too! Some of the best pics here would be in the churches if they'd just let us take em. There are little old ladies that look really mean and yell at you across the whole room if they see you reach for a camera...how can they still see anything?
hey matt,
enjoyed the pics. how are you? been a while since i heard anything. i'm guilty of not updating my blog, so i can't say much. but i'm going to update it right now. anyway, praying for you and miss you. blessings.
