La Casa Sol Bed & Breakfast Quito

We arrived safely last night, and made it through customs and to the hotel with ease. It was already 10pm when we got in, so we didn't do a whole lot other than a quick visit to the cafe next door and then to bed. Our hotel room is teeny tiny, and the bathroom even teenier, but it´s very clean and painted a nice sunny yellow. Today we were up early, breakfast at the hotel (fresh fruit, tea or coffee, juice, and rolls) and caught the trolley into Old Town to wander around. Yesterday was the Ec...

There go my plans for a long, hot, shower. Also, I forgot to tell my ant story from Bella Vista. On our last hike, we saw a massive trail of ants across the road. We got so absorbed in watching them that we didn't notice they had started crawling up our shoes until they reach...

Día Dos: Llegue en el Mitad Del Mundo. Fui al el monumento y saca muchas fotos. Yo recomiendo que sace muchas fotos porque el monumento es bonito y muy interesante. Después en Quito y camine en él cuidad. La encontré muy interesante porque Quito tienes mucho monumentos y mercados. También comí en el restaurante La Viña. La comida es tradicional y muy bien.

Caminata en las islas y saca muchas fotos. Yo recomiendo que vayas al la Islas Galápagos porque las islas son muy interesantes. También comí en el restaurante El Maple. La comida es mal.

Last night was my first night of real, undisturbed sleep in weeks, and my exhausted body is craving much much more...The hotel staff forgot to give me my 8 am wake-up call and the alarm clock on my watch (which I now know is very temperamental) did not go off either. I had an 11 am meeting with Gustavo, the head of Amazonas Spanish School, and had wanted to drop by Papaya Net (a popular internet café and bar in Gringolandia) beforehand and then visit some recommended Spanish schools if time p...

We made it! After a long day of travel we arrived in Quito last night, found our ride and made it to our accommodations within the 18 hour travel day. Today we went for several walks, mostly trying to get our sea legs under us. We joined the South America Explorers Club, a true wealth of information and resources. We went back a second time and dropped off our Galapagos snorkel gear for safe keepings. Tomorrow morning we head north to Otavalo for a week of homestay and language school. This a...
