52 Photos Project

The prompt for Week 16: somewhere you visited

This is Quito, Ecuador—my daughter Katie
and I overnighted here on our way
to and from the Galapagos.
Lovely city, great food, but the altitude
takes its toll: At 9,350 feet, you get
only 60% of the oxygen you'd breathe in
at sea level (where I live).  My legs felt like
they each weighed about 50 pounds!
