This date was my second and last day in Loja. A good portion of today was spent in the University Botanical park at the south end of the city. It was a lovely day and it did not rain.
NOTE that you may click on any photo for an ENLARGED VIEW.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al  |
