18.08.09 -Café Mosaico- Rooftop View of Quito City

As recommended by our very kind hotel receptionist, we ate at Café Mosaico this evening, arriving in time to get the best seat in the house- along the balcony overlooking all of Quito. We could see right past La Panecillo (little bread) hill to the sprawling mass of the suburbs which run till the edge of the mountain range in which Quito sits. The sun threw rays of god-like light over the city Cathedral and I couldn’t help thinking that the Inca’s had something when they worshipped their sun. As previously mentioned re: sun setting, sure enough at 6.30pm it started and by 6.45pm the city was a twinkling mass of streetlights, very romantic.
