Day 1-- Quito, Ecuador

Hi All!

We made it! Sorry for the delay but the internet at our hostel isn´t working. The plain rides were overall very quite and quick. We had a driver meet us at the airport and escort us to our hostel. He was a very nice indigenous man who was very informative and knowledgable about the area. Upon arival to our hostel, parents take ease, we could see that it was very safe. You are buzzed in at the front gate and the staff is very friendly, however our roommates were less pleasant when we met them. The hostel itself is so cute! There are hardwood floors throughout that creek lovingly at every step. There is free breakfast for us every morning. The city is huge and kind of intimidating but our taxis were pretty nice. We are currently at 9,200 ft which we noticed when we stepped off the plane but hopefully this will help us acclimate to the 13,000ft we will eventually climb to. We are already so excited and after a great nights sleep we feel refreshed and ready to explore. (Not to mention the city is less scary during the day.)
