Was in quito for a few days, modern city about 3million population. Noticeable difference about all the cities in latin america are that the population really means 'in the city'. Unlike the states where its 3million city including surrounding suburbs etc. here the cities are much more crowded with the same population as such they feel bigger.
Even in the capital city the prices in Ecuador are the lowest of trip so far. Hung out mostly in one are of town that reminded me of uptown, Minneapolis. Found finn mccools, great irish bar and seemingly spent most of my time there. 
lots of travellers in quito, mostly europas and aussies, few from the states which was nice to talk regular speed/ slang with. First since the two guys I rode with in belize. Met a rider there from Canada also on a ktm, jeff, there are three of us for the time being.
