We were fortunate this day to witness the Changing of the Guard at the Carondelet Palace. Carondelet Palace is at the north end of the Plaza de la Independencia, and our group had a good view of the pomp and circumstance from the elevated walkway along the east side of the Cathedral of Quito.

So, without further commentary, here is the changing of the guard with the then president of Ecuador in attendance:
