Sucked hard core. I was homesick and nervous, and alone. I was tired and cranky. But I met a girl from i-to-i on the plane, and we stuck together. Turns out we´re staying in the same house while we´re in Quito.
Before we got off the plane we had to put on masks, which made me feel really clausterphobic, and made the thin air feel thinner and everything hotter. I ended up almost passing out, and I threw up in the customs line. I blame the crappy Continental food too. Screw that stuff, don´t eat what they give you.
I made it safe to my homestay and met a couple other girls (one´s actually a mother of three.... her kids are in highschool), and we went to the market and then came here to this neat little net cafe. It´s not all that hot up here, and everything is SUPER cheap - I got a really cute little hat for $3. A cab fare is usually no more than $1.50 and you can eat for under $2.
ON with the adventure!
