Galapagos Islands, Quito, The hustle and bustle of the central square of Quito. Wow, that was a LOT of gold. Oops, the video was on for a few seconds inside the church. Santiago said the "no photography" rule has more to do with "no *flash* photography"; no flash was used in the accidental acquisition of this footage. And yes, if it looks like gold, it is 24k gold. Everywhere. jpmeyer.com
