Thank you, Cipro.

So it happened, quicker than either of us thought. Today I fell victim to the inevitable, as they call it in Mexico, Montezuma´s Revenge. I feel that I know you all well enough to share this miserable detail with you, and for those of you who happened to stumble across this blog, I´m sorry for your luck. This is probably not what you are wanting to hear. But thanks to the revolutionary drug known in short form as Cipro, I am back on my feet again and ready to tackle another plate of down home Ecuadorian cuisine. Needless to say, Hallye and I took the day pretty easy. I stuck to the bed and she lounged on the rooftop terrace. We later took a trip to the cyber cafe to skype friends and family then returned to the hostal to read up on what we will do next and spend some more time on the computer. Sundays around Quito, at least the Old town, are fairly quiet. There aren´t many people out on the streets, which is both a plus and a minus. An Australian guy we met at the hostal today warned us to be careful if we were heading out today, because Sunday is the day everyone gets mugged. We thanked him for the advice and headed out with as little cash as we needed. The streets were, in fact virtually empty with the exception of drunks and tourists for the most part. Tomorrow we plan on doing a little sightseeing. Probably to the Capilla del hombre that Brittany suggested and other sights close-by. There is also a park called Itchimbia which overlooks the city and will be great tomorrow if the weather is nice. Well, there is a line for the computer so I must go!! please comment and let us know what you would like to hear more about!-Katie
