Hi All: Sorry for the delay in making this, my first blog entry of this trip to South America. We arrived in Quito, on time, at 9:30 pm on Thursday night and were met at the airport by a driver with the usual SnihurWyatt sign. After a wild (there are no other kinds in SA) we were settled in the Colonial Hostal in colonial Quito. Most of Friday was spent exploring the local surroundings, taking 2 hours of Spanish with Jaquelina, and spending time at the local market.
Our room is beautiful, but a little close (it overlooks) the road. But the windows open and Joy loves the street and doesn´t notice the noise at all hours. Now that I am using earplugs, it doesn´t bother me that much either and Joy finds the street magical and that´s fine by me..
We spent yesterday on a tour to the famed market at Otavalo where Joy bought a giant bean pod and ate from it, as did I after she didn´t develop some terrible disease. Check out her blog for the details. Saw beautiful falls and lots of other stuff.
This morning we and Jaqui went down to the market for lunch and we tried some new foods. I had seco de carne, while Joy and Jaqui had a fish dish. We still don´t have a trip to the Galapagos arranged but that is priority for Monday.
