Dreaming of the Osaka sun

Well it has been a long couple of days. Yesterday was or departure from wonderfully rainy Ohio to the beautiful Ecuador! Our flight to Georgia was pretty smooth and tolerable since it was only around 120 minutes long. Our flight to Quito was a bit turbulent, but watching the sun set from our windows and flying over Cuba or the night lights from Panama wad incredible. By the time we landed, we were all ready to crawl into our beds at the nicest hostel ever.

You know those first few moments after you wake up and can't really remember anything? I had one of those this morning. Realizing that you're in another country and that the whole day before of flying and airports and emotions wasn't a dream wad really exciting. Especially looking out your window to see a mountain appear from the fog!

Today's biggest adventure was out tour through Quito and getting to straddle and fight over the Equator. Trying cuy, hot wine and just bonding by sharing all our food and drinks with each other (probably not the most healthy thin to do, but delicious all the same). Can't wait for more adventure and less altitude sickness! Pictured will come soon enough.
