First Days in Ecuador

---

Quito, Ecuador
Hola everybody!! This is going to be a short entry because I´m sitting here in an internet cafe in the middle of Quito, Ecuador and it´s a whopping 80 cents an hour to be here. A LITTLE pricey...haha. It has been AMAZING so far. My first plane ride went very well and I´m pretty much an expert now 😉 We have only been here a couple of days, but we have already met the "Vicepresidente" of Ecuador and rode a cable car to some mountain peaks within the city. My hotel roommates for this week are Julie, Hannah and Kumari and we get along really well. Besides the fact that we run out of hot water in the shower on a daily basis, it´s a great hotel. We even have a loft with two of the beds up there and windows overlooking the city. I have never seen anything so beautiful as a lit up Quito on our flight in at 12 am the other night. It was amazing! The people have been very friendly so far...sometimes a little TOO friendly when it comes to the muchachos 😉 I still don´t really believe that we are here! What makes Quito even more beautiful is the mountains surrounding the city and the gorgeous buildings and plazas throughout the city. Using Spanish so frequently has been a little challenging, but it gets easier all the time. We had an excellent dinner last night at a local restaraunt called Pim´s. Hopefully I´ll be able to add pictures soon so you all can see how gorgeous it is here. I wish you all could be here and I miss you all very much!!! I´ll keep you updated when I can!!!

Hey.
Hey Kiley. Glad everything's gone smoothly so far. And really, the only reason you're running out of hot water is because there are 4 girls in a room......you should've expected that ;) But as you know, my schedule leaves me little play time, but I'll definitely be following your stories and commenting from time to time. I wish you the best down south, and we all miss you here in The States.

You Ecuadorian you
You did it! And somehow I never managed to get into that suitcase of yours... damn damn damn! All I can say is that when you come back, I want some wild and crazy stories. Think as in... your wildest most crazy dreams kind of stories. With muchachos perhaps? They could certainly be added into the mix! I love you girl, sounds just incredible, and I am so glad you are able to take this life-changing trip! Missing you already! Hugs!
