the hunt.

Today was NUTS.  First of all, I can't even believe how warm people dress here.  I mean...I'm over here sweating in my skinny jeans, tank top, hair up in a mess, etc. and I look across the street and see a woman wearing a turtle neck and Ughs.  whaaaaaat?!

Now that I got that off my chest...Today was NUTS.  We went on a scavenger hunt all over Quito to get to know the city.  Zach brought us to "La Y" for our first Trolley ride.  I could not BELIEVE how packed it was!  I didn't even have to hold on.  The people around me were great support.  After Zach walked us past our Spanish school [which starts Mondayyyy!], he split us into groups of 3, prayed for us, and left us in the dust.

We walked all over creation for 7 hours...soaking up Ecuadorian wonderfulness, getting on the wrong Trolley, leaving Ben behind on accident, meeting people in the park, attempting to speak in Spanish, dodging killer elevator doors, walking up way to many flights of stairs and HUGE hills, trying to find bathrooms you don't have to pay to use [fail.  I don't think they exist here], feeling like we were going to die climbing the janky stairs up the Bisilica towers, buying $9 worth of roast beef because we don't know Spanish deli talk, grocery shopping as a small family, and SO MUCH MORE.

To say the very least...today was an adventure.  And now my legs are going to fall off.  [but it was worth it.]
