Ecuador (Quito and Guayaquil)

Obviously, the Romans did not make it over to South America, but the Spanish and Portuguese certainly brought their language and culture over. There was a clash with the indigenous cultures that already lived in those areas, but now everything seems to work well together.

In the church at the top of Cerro de Santa Ana there were stained glass windows of scenes for the death of Jesus. There's a nice shot of a Roman soldier doing a dirty deed.

This is a monument at the Malocon in Guayaquil commemorating the meeting of Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin. I think in honor of this--Ecuador went with a nice Greco-Roman style. You can see the columns and archy shape.

It was hard not to think of Latin with these abundant "una via" signs hanging all over the place. Sure it's Spanish, but it looks just like Latin!!
