Beautiful young women, and they know it

By chance, purely by chance, I happened to be at Independence Plaza in Quito, Ecuador, one morning when this high school band marched in led by these beautiful, really beautiful young women. It was a mostly all girls band, and I cannot tell you how beautiful they all looked. And, guess what, they knew it? Love it! Take a look.

Beauty of Quito, Ecuador

The wonder of Quito to me is its color. Everywhere you look there is interesting, eye-stopping color. It is in the buildings and the people, too. I attach just a few of the photos of this beautiful city that is at the Middle of the World. These men are members of the guard at the Presidential Palace in Quito. They change on Monday of each week. They all carry spears or lances made from bamboo and wear spurs.
