Left home at 1:00 and arrived at Detroit Airport at 4:30 am. Checked our bags all the way to Quito and started the check in process and waiting. Flight left at 7:20 and we arrived in Miami at 11:00. Long lay over and our flight was delayed. Ate great Cuban food and finally departed at 4:30. Arrived in Quito around 7:30 that evening. Beautiful city in a valley of the Andes Mountains. Staying in the San Sebastion Hotel. Today we toured Quito. Went to a number of incredible cathedrals built during colonial times. Visited several museums. Adjusting to everything in Spanish. I understand a lot of what is said, can speak some, but it comes slowly.
The food here is delicious. Fruit and juices are incredible. I had the best orange juice ever. I tried taxo and araza´ fruit drinks. ¡Deliciousa! Rode a tram to over 12,000 feet in the Andes. What a view. Tomorrow we go to Otavalo and our home stays during language immersion school.
