This afternoon we took a guided tour of the colonial part of the capital city of Ecuador. The architecture is amazing and sad at the same time. The presidential palace is constructed in 3 levels. The 1st level is original Incan structure, the 2nd is colonial, and the 3rd is of French construction. The main plaza in Quito is said to be the most important location in Ecuador because all significant political, social, and religious decisions emanate from the buildings surrounding the plaza.
