sundays have become somewhat traditional here in quito... brunch followed by a soccer game in the park. a bunch of the people at work play on a team together. i am, of course, the full-time cheerleader. this sunday, though, we mixed it up a bit and went to quitofest after the game - quito's version of ACL. we were only there for a few hours on sunday afternoon, but we heard some great hip-hop reggae. it's all the rage.
the classic self-portrait with heads cut off. from top, clockwise: faruq (top), me, milton, malena (she's suisse!). faruq and milton are our star soccer players, and make for excellent spanish conversation partners.
milton took one for the team in order for us to get a "real" picture.
view of the stage and park. lots of people.
the sky looked cool. notice the bowling pins flying through the air. there were jugglers.
view of quito from the park. bottom center is the basilica, and that big hill is pichincha.
"a sunday well-spent brings a week of content." --anon.
