Quito, Ecuador

We have arrived in Quito, approximately 8000 feet in altitude.  We arrived tired after 5 days of ballooning, and our feet feel like lead weights.  But we are staying in an apartment of a friend of a friend. It is charming and in the middle of the Old Town. But what is most disconcerting is the 4 locks to get into the place.  Front door has two locks and has a grill gate with a double lock and then the entrance to the building has a deadlock.  Crime is notable in Ecuador.
