Ecuador sites



I do not have a lot to say in this blog except to provide a few more pictures of the sites and sounds in Loja. Loja, and especially the Universidad Tecnica Particular de Loja (UTPL - where I work), has great artwork and architecture. These pictures show "La puerta de la ciudad" (gate to the city), and of the "Gran Libertador" (Simon Bolivar). Most cities in Ecuador have a Sucre street, Simon Bolivar street, and a few more of the more famous persons of Ecuador and South America. If you are into some cool art you should check out Eduardo Kingman who was born in Loja and lived mostly in Quito. He has some pretty spectacular paintings that are very unique and I enjoy his work a lot. Our group is visiting Cuenca this weekend so I will have some cool pics soon after.
