We Made It!

We made it to Quito this evening! The flights went really smoothly and we were on time. Customs was quite the experience, however. After making it to the counter, we were told that we needed to fill out another form before they would let us through to pick up our bags. When we got to baggage claim it resembled a war zone: there were bags on the carousel, off the carousel, piled in the corner, just about anywhere you could think of. So an hour and a half later we finally met with our guide and made it to our hostal. It is located in the gringo section of town, so things are a bit more expensive. We had a nice dinner and our first batidos - an ecuadorian specialty consisting of fresh fruit juice and cream. IT WAS TO DIE FOR! Can't wait for our city tour tomorrow!!!
