The trip has been fun so far, and it is really beautiful here. I’ll try to get some pictures.
The flight from Manchester was pretty cool, and the hotel we stayed in at Atlanta was ok too. The flight to Quito was long, all six and a half hours of it. There were two movies on the flight, and I finished a book. I sat in the middle of a three-seat row. The person to my left was going to Ecuador for a business trip and the person to my right was native to Ecuador and flying home.
Out of the six Bible verses our group was to memorize, we have four of them down. Jamie has the first, Sam the second, and I have the fifth and sixth (it really was a long flight).
We arrive at Quito last night at about ten, then flew onto Guayaquil, and, after going through customs, (which wasn’t that bad), arrived at the hotel by about midnight. I knew it was going to be warm here, but the humidity surprised me.
I also just went through a harrowing trial of brushing my teeth without using the water from the tap, which wasn’t much fun until I discovered the 2 bottles of Howard Johnson´s water in the bathroom.
It is really nice here. Even the air is beautiful, and the palm trees don’t hurt any either.
Anyway, we are going to plan our day now, so I´ll write more later.
Adios!
