Hi friends (and family)!
Just wanted to give you a quick update to say that we are alive and well in QUITO! I wish I had more time to tell you what we´ve been getting up to but my minutes are quickly depleting on our internet time! The trek over was interesting! Allison and I had a 5 hours lay over in Washington DC so we made a mad dash to the city and managed to get a quick glimpse of the whitehouse before racing back to the airport (pictures to come!). We were a bit delayed arriving in Quito but so were Steph and Leslie so it worked out pretty well. We stumbled into our hostel at about 2 am before crashing.
SO! Quito is CRAZY! Small sidewalks and LOTS of cars! But some really nice churches that we explored on our own little walking tour and LOTS of avocados and guacomole. DELICIOUS! Today we darted up to Otavalo to shop in the famous market and all bought relatively matching alpaca sweaters with llamas on them. (Yes we are that cool!)
We just had an amazing late dinner on a patio way up high in Quito overlooking the city. Tomorrow we are hoping to get to Mindo to do some ziplining and butterfly watching! Stay tuned for more details.
We love you and miss you guys but are pretty happy in our avocado heaven.

Heather, Leslie, Steph and Allison!
