Today, after my spanish lesson, I went to an art museum in the home of the most famous Ecuadorian artist, Oswaldo Guayasamin. The museum consisted of his collection of indigenous art as well as the most famous pieces he painted himself. I'm not huge on art museums but it was incredible. His style is similar to Picaso. We had a tour guide who spoke only spanish and I understood about half of what she said... not too bad for a week's worth of lessons. His home was atop a hill that overlooked the city. It had several buildings, all that have been converted to display his art.
