We left San Francisco airport Monday around noon for our flight to Quito Ecuador via Miami.

We arrived at our hotel in Quito at 4:30 Tuesday morning.  Was it a long trip you ask:
                                                     
But are we having a great time?
                            

Oh I guess you are wondering about the above photos. This is a section of downtown Quito that has restaurants, night clubs, and shopping.  This is the area we had dinner tonight.  Before I get into that let me tell you what we did today after our 5 hour cat nap.  We took a three hour hop on hop off bus tour of Quito.


                                 
                           
And I’m still awake to write about it.  After our bus tour we got a recommendation from the hotel concierge on a place to have dinner.  They gave us directions to the Foch marketplace area and recommended a restaurant.  We went native and had all Ecuadorian dishes.
                                       
                                        
No, not the Guinea pig but other great dishes.


Humita (cornmeal & cheese wrapped in a corn husk), potato soup, pisco sours, and for dessert, pastry with a melted honey sauce (I think).  It was all very good.

Tomorrow our tour starts and we are off and running!
