Welcome to My Country series.
Colorful, captioned photographs and a brief text welcome readers to the country of Ecuador. The cursory text introduces varied climates and terrains, handmade crafts, people, lifestyles, and food. Points of interest include the gold-trimmed Sagrario Church and the folk music of the Andes Highlands. Report writers will find basic information. Map, "Quick Facts," reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
