Hi everyone, This is the view from my flat. In the background is the lower peak of Mt. Pichincha. Behind it is the higher peak and volcano. Quito is built along a valley in the Andes so as long as you can see Pichincha you know where you are in the city. If you can`t see the mountain it`s because it`s raining and you should be in a bar! I`m not sure if the appartment has a fire escape and I will be buying some climbing rope just in case!
