Hello from Quito! Aside from a short delay in Atlanta on the tarmac, everything went fine with my trip here yesterday. My bags even showed up and I managed to get a cart, although it cost extra. I met a lot of undergrad exchange students on the plane who were coming to Ecuador for their first time, so I felt a bit like the seasoned pro with all the advice.
Santy picked me up at the airport and I did the running into his arms like in the movies thing. He gave me possibly the largest bouquet of roses I have EVER SEEN... It is half my height and incredible. I need to get a photo of it. I was feeling a bit altitude dizzy but otherwise fine, so we headed to the bar to meet some of his friends for a drink and some dancing. I figured out that the solution to altitude dizziness is beer. I felt incredibly better after one!
So far just a slow morning. I feel wrecked! I think because of the altitude I didn´t sleep that well. Santy said I was talking in my sleep and he had to keep asking me if I was ok.
The plan now is to go to the shopping centre and get some groceries for a family barbeque today. While we are there, we are going to get a few things that I need as well.
Oooo Santy just showed me a bunch of BEETLES that he caught, in vials with ethanol, and LABELED like an entomologist! Roses and beetles... what more could a girl want?
