Erinabroad: photo tour

Now I'm only a week behind!

Too much talking lately, pictures do it better:

The stadium was packed as Ecuador beat Venezuela in the first World Cup qualifying game for 2014


Fútbol chants in a yellow world. Our entire section worked together to unfurl the country's flag.

The competition was tough for the bebe del día award:

She won.

..but he was cute too.

Doggy didn't take any notice of the police surrounding the field. He went for a stroll on the field while the game was in play.

Rolls of what seemed like receipt paper were distributed to act as makeshift streamers. Bombs of the tricolor exploded in the crowd.

On Saturday we took a $3 taxi from my house to the telefériQo, the cable cars I had gone up at the my first weekend here to get a view of Quito. This time around, however, we had given our lungs enough time to get used to the altitude. Instead of stopping at the mirador, we continued on a tough hike through the páramo to the top of Pichincha.
