First Day in Quito!

We are here safe and sound! Maria picked us up from the airport (Hallye´s friend and Ann Marie´s niece) along with her father. Our first hostal was located in New Town which is more developed and modern. It was loud and many people were out and about enjoying the nightlife. However we took a shower and got a good nights rest. We woke up this morning and had no idea what time it was. Neither one of us brought watches so we meandered our way down to breakfast where we enjoyed huevos (eggs), montaditos de queso (grilled cheese), batido de guayava (guava milkshake), and cafe con leche (coffee with milk). The meal was two dollars each! At about 8:30 we headed towards Old Town which was a hike! Old Town is the historic part of Quito and proved to be much more enjoyable than New Town. We have found a new hostal called Hostal Belmont and we love it. It is extremely cute and cozy. It is also located in a scenic area. We are not sure what time it is since we still do not have watches. We will spend the rest of the day exploring this section of town. Love, Hallye and Katie
