Quito

Our flight from Seattle to Quito was great as soon as we were out of the States. Delta sucks and LACSA was awesome. We managed to fit everything we need for the year in two backpacks and one duffle bag. We were jumping up and down in the airport when we put them on the scale and none of them were over fifty pounds. We didn’t have to pay any money for our bags. LACSA had a full bar that wouldn’t give Casey just orange juice they insisted he have a screwdriver and I passed out the entire flight and normally I can’t sleep on planes. It was sweet! They didn’t lose our luggage which allowed me to win the bet with Casey. The landing into Quito was amazing because it is in such a deep valley that the pilot really had to twist and turn the plane for a safe landing. Everyone on the plane was clapping when we landed. It scared the shit out us. Casey and I slept for about twenty hours upon arrival in Quito. We couldn’t manage to get enough sleep in the States leading up to our departure so we are catching up here. Quito so far has been a great city to us. I remember more Spanish than I thought I would and I have managed to get our room in the hostel (agua caliente!!) and order breakfast. We have met a lot of people that we can’t seem to get rid of. Casey and I keep implying that we are on our honeymoon but there is always at least one person who wants to walk to city with us. Oh well! At least we know the Israelis and British don’t totally hate Americans.
