We’ve arrived in Quito, Ecuador approximately 10:30 pm. The flight over was long and uneventful – nothing to brag about. Ten hours in the air in three separate airplanes and approximately 4 hours total layover in Houston and Panama City.
Clearing customs in Quito went extremely fast. No lines and no wait. After clearing customs and retrieving our luggage we hopped into a taxi and headed to our friend’s apartment.
On our way to the apartment we noticed a few fast food restaurants familiar to Americans, such as, McDonald’s, Papa John’s Pizza, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and of all things Tony Roma’s Bar-B-Que. It’s good to know if we don’t like the local food we can always fall back on these fast food restaurants (I don’t think so).
When we arrived to the apartment we quickly unwind and began to catch up with our friends and their adventures in Ecuador. Their apartment is perfect. It is a stone throw away from Estadio Olympico (the city’s soccer stadium). Across the street is a large park, Parque Metropolitano, full of artful structures, bike trails, and walking trails. We love it!
