<![CDATA[<P>Step into Quitos
historic heart
Its a new day in the busy, beating heart of the Ecuadorian capital, the
first city named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978. The Equatorial
sun bathes the expanse of the Plaza San Francisco in early, golden light.
The white walls of the imposing Franciscan church and convent glow.
Cobblestones glint beneath the footsteps as people head to work.
Newspaper sellers hawk their editions. Pigeons flit from the
terracotta-tiled rooftops. Ecuadors capital is coming to life.
The spires shine brighter. The great doors of the church ease open to
welcome the faithful to Mass, shuffling into its gold-leafed embrace. A
schoolboy skips down the staircase, late. Highland women hurry by, great
bundles of fragrant herbs strapped to their backs. The light gradually
floods every corner of the vast square, chasing the chill of the morning
air.
Its a new day of gossip and bustle, of commerce and chatter. Life thrives
in every street corner, across every square. Quitos historic heart is a living
treasure. </p>
