Diplomonkey has been on the move once again throughout the Andes. One of his latest sojourns has been through Quito in Republic of Ecuador; and just in time to celebrate the Fourth of July at U.S. Embassy Quito and even run into the Holy Father (i.e., the Pope) at the airport.

Quito is one of Diplomonkey’s favorite towns. Rich in very well preserved Spanish colonial architecture, Quito offers incredible sights and sounds. Nice people, good food, and a relaxed pace make Quito an excellent place to visit, and in Diplomonkey’s case also work.
