The approach into Quito is by far the most stunning I've seen. The land looks rough, and makes you wonder how people settled this place.
I arranged for a driver to pick me up, and he was there with his wife waiting for me. I started to shake the rust off of my Spanish and did alright. Friday night traffic was quite bad so the normal 1 hr drive took 2.5.
Andrew was in the kitchen checking mail when I walked in. It's like I saw him yesterday. We caught up, had a couple coffees and we headed out for dinner. Dinner was steak with mushroom sauce, fries and a salad. Very Sudamericano typical, and great to wash down with a glass of vino tinto.
We closed out the night hanging with the other hostelers and sipping a bottle of wine that Andrew brought from Italy. He's already a hit with the staff and guests! We hit the sack early and I was asleep before all the lights went out.
