I caught my sure-as-shootin' after-flight virus - complete with sinus headache and sore throat so I have been under the weather for the past two days.  But this morning I woke up feeling pretty good, so after breakfast we walked up to the Parque La Carolina. This is our apartment. It is centrally located in the upscale district of New Town. The bus stop is only a half block walk and grocery stores and restaurants all close by.  

It is only about a two block walk to the Parque La Carolina. This is Quito's "Central Park" with pathways and a waterway meandering through it's 165 acres. A small Botanical Garden occupies about 18 sq. meters of this park. 









There are paddle boats and canoes and it is a very popular place for local families to spend a Sunday.









There are food vendors and hot dog stands, playground equipment, pony rides for the kids, soccer fields, volleyball courts, bike paths and running lanes.
