So Kate and I have successfully completed 1.5 days here in Quito. We got in yesterday at about 1:45pm after being checked for Swine Flu twice (Quito and San Jose). We are sitting in the Papaya Cafe right now. I think Kate is looking up information on busses to Salinas and I am supposed to be looking up info on something but gave up awhile ago.
We went to a mexican restaurant across from our hostal last night and we were the only people in there so they put on a DVD of Madonna videos....it pretty much made our night.
We went to bed super early ...like 6pm. I woke up around 5am and started planning the day. Kate took sleeping pils and had a dream about falling down a rabbit hole...We had breakfast around 8 and then headed down to a tour agency and booked an 8'day trip to the Galapagos and leave for the on Thursday.
We are having a blast. Today, we went to La Basilica de Voto Nacional and climbed up into the tower which was crazt awesome and scary. It gave us great views of the city though. Afterwards we went into the gift shop where some woman had a 20 min conversation with Kate all about the stuff in the store and she must have liked us cause she gave us free bracelets.Then we went to Old Town to a Monastary and some plazas. Got lost once and were basically called idiots by some 70-year-old woman.
Eneded up having lunch at a cafe at the Plaza de San Francisco where we met some people from San Francisco...one of the guys was wearing an Oregon Ducks shirt so that´s how we started talking. Othr than all that...
The city is wearing on us so we planned a day trip tomorrow to a town called Mindo and we will zipline through a cloud forest and innnertube down the river there. Should be an adventure. Hasta luego!!
