Q is for Quito
In 1999, we made our only foray into South America. Quito is the capital of Ecuador – and indeed, true to the name, one of the side trips we made was to the equatorial line. You can see me with a foot in each hemisphere below.

For the previous destination on this tour, see H is for Havana. Our ultimate destination was Galapagos, but that didn’t make it into the A to Z Challenge – it deserves a series all of its own*.

Anabel – I remember this A-Z challenge. I’m so glad you got to Mitad del Mundo – that’s a fun photo, with two feet in different hemispheres 🙂

Wow, what a short sweet post. I tend to be on the wordy side, maybe because I really want to share what I have to say, although feel bad for poor A-Z bloggers who may not be interested in reading all of it!

Apologies – just found this comment in spam! Have been a bit negligent over Easter. I’ve kept my A to Z posts deliberately short – though partly that’s because some of the pictures are quite old and I can’t remember much about them!
