This is a dark interpretation of Quito by Oswaldo Guayasamín. We visted Guayasamin´s home/museum while we were in Quito. Guaysamin was a contemporary of Picasso, and Diego Rivera. He did political works in similar style.
Quito was indeed dark and we decided to cut our time there shorter as we would hear every morning in the hostel or at Mau´s spanish class of another gringo being robbed at knife point by the local ladrones.
We did manage to have fun drinking beers with the Quiteños and watching the rivalery futbol match between Liga (Quito) and Barcelona (Guayaquil). There was a promotion of two for one pitchers of beer and a free Pilsener t-shirt. Pilsener is the local brew.
