Keep and eye on the kids
And when I say kids, I mean 4-8 year olds. They roam the streets of the old city looking for tourist targets. A common target is the cameras of careless tourists placed on the edges of their dining tables or park benches. A kid would simply run by, grab the camera, and disappear into the crowd.

To take pictures of the "Virgin" Panacillo from the front you may stop halfway on the street upwards.
At the statue the park is behind her so you'll see her back or climb down again!

The people of Quito are extremely friendly and accommodating. There are PLENTY of adventure trips leaving for the mountains every hour of the day. Horse back, biking, kayaking, you-name-it! Internet bars are plentiful as are hostels for backpackers.
Ecuadorians use the USD, so conversion is unnecessary. However, Ecuadorians will NOT do business with you if they don't like you.
There's a wonderful art fair in the park every Saturday. Totally worth a stroll.
Unfortunately, the cuisine is less than appetizing for my taste.
It's very beany, ricey, potatoey. The national dish is cui (whole deep fried guinea pig). I'd recommend the Magic Bean for the biggest pancakes you've EVER seen.

If you arrive by plane and the weather is clear don't forget to keep your camera ready! A fantastic view expects you before landing!

Don't try to drive in this country, taxi is only about a buck, don't carry large amounts of cash, and be careful what you eat make sure, stay away from the local water, bring some stomach medicine with you.

the indian street vendors offer some yummy foods but they don't have a very sanitary set up. You probably shouldn't risk trying their foods for fear of getting ill. I would stick to restaurants
