Hola Mi Unica Lectora!
So before traveling to other countries, Antes a viajando a otros paises, in an attempt to be a little less of American stereotype (o una gringa!), I usually try to read up on the history and culture of wherever I am traveling to... Lonely Planet happens to have a very good and succinct overview of the history of Quito -YAY for Lonely Planet!! :) Gracias Solitario Planeta!

Additionally, and for those of you who are wanting to practice your Spanish reading skillz, Tambien, para ellos quien querer a practicar sus leer de espanol - The local Quito Paper has all of the more recent history in the making ...
El Comercio
And not that this has anything at all to do with Quito - but for anyone interested in reading a wonderful book about Latin (Dominican to be precise) Culture check out The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao - best book I've read in a while! :) (con una linka a mi tienda de libros favorita)
Ok - hasta pronto mi amigo!
