Today we had a tour of Quito, Ecuador which is the capital city. It sits at 9400 'ft. Of course we learned lots of info about the city which I will forget very quickly if I don't get them down. The major industries are oil, tourism, textiles and see I have already forgotten the last one. The fun thing about the info was that they are a major exporter of roses. Yes, ladies here you can get $25 gorgeous roses for one dollar. Of course that creates a dilemma for the romantically inclined because receiving two dozen roses means nothing to the females here because of the price. Men giving roses here could be scorned for giving a cheap gift and be in more trouble than when they started.
We toured Old Quito and had lots of laughs with the misinterpretations that were happening with our completely Spanish driver. We met with the group that is going to the Galapagos with us tomorrow and heard more of the exciting details. I really want to swim with the baby sea lions so I am asking the Lord to orchestrate that for us.
Now no internet until we are back here for one night, so you will see a whole bunch more then. Hope you are all well. Blessings
