The wandering has begun!

Ready for my five weeks!
After traveling all night, and sitting through a lightening storm on the runway in Panama for an hour and a half in a full plane waiting to be able to take off, we finally made it to Quito. In our exhaustion the ride through this huge city was a blur. The taxi was weaving through the dense traffic and the tiny, narrow streets forever, but we finally made it to our hotel 17 hours after leaving our house. We were greeted by the nicest ladies, but they had about three words of English between them so my fuzzy brain had to start searching for Spanish right away. We crashed for a couple hours of sleep then went in search of dinner. We are right next to the very lively La Ronda with tons of choices for eating, and also for staying up until the wee hours singing karaoke apparently. Thank goodness for earplugs!
Today we set off for Parque Itchimbia. We ended up climbing a million stairs and hiking up some of the steepest streets I have ever walked. Getting our traveling legs back!

Tomorrow I think we will find the Teleferriqo (cable car) and maybe ride the trolebus around for awhile
