First Impressions

  Quito is huge!
  I wasn't expecting it to be all spread out. From the air, the first thing I noticed is that there are few straight street/roads. The street lights also stood out, they have an orange tint instead of the bright white of the States. It gave a warm glow to the city. I am curious to see the city in the daylight.
  A woman I worked with set me up with a driver, Felix (rhymes with "relics"). Felix is a jovial guy who speaks about as much English as I do Spanish. We worked it out though and I got to my hotel.
The hotel is super nice. I wish my apartment was half as nice. The layout makes great use of the space.

Today's Highlight: Felix, without a doubt.
