This is a picture of Quito at night, as seen from Diana’s roof. I think next to the beach and the view from El Refugio, the millions of city lights are one of my favorite scenes.
Another favorite sight in Quito is the simultaneous red and green lights. No, this is not the first time I’ve seen this. And I’ve heard from a couple of people who have been driving in Ecuador for a long time that they aren’t positive what to do upon encountering them either. I think I’d just have to treat it like a flashing red or yellow light and hope there was not a cop behind me.
Even after a team gets on the plane, you sometimes end up working just about until the next one shows up to finish out the block. But even so, you just can’t help but miss people as you match up 39 pairs of their socks. I was reminded of what my pastor at home referred to recently as the “Blessing of the Boxers,” and how simple (though maybe time-consuming) tasks can be ministries if you are open to the possibility.
I’m pretty sure this is the funniest graffiti I’ve ever seen. Especially in Quito.
