We made it to Quito after some airplane delays. Due to bad weather in Miami the plane had to stop and refuel in fort myers. This delay caused me to miss the Miami to Lima flight by 45seconds...2 girls from toronto going to machu were also in the same boat. I figured i was going to stay the night in a hotel there but they got me on a direct flight to Quito instead!
Met up with James at a hostel and spent the day today with Henry an American walking throughout the Old Town. His Spanish was extremely resourceful (practically fluent). We may be doing charade communication for a while.
Observations so far:
-extremely mountainous region as Quito lies in a valley between 2 ranges.
-CHEAP full lunch was $1.75 hostel was 7$ including breakfast.
-dogs run around partially wild as I couldn't see any owners around to suggest they were playing fetch...one dog chased us in a taxi for 20m
-lots of poverty
Tomorrow we hope to play some frisbee in the park and wait for Adam to arrive at night. Off to a BBQ now...a Chilean is a big grill master apparently.
Adios
