Flor picked me up at the airport and gave me an unbelievably comfortable bed to sleep in. We stayed up late chatting and laughing before we both passed out, exhausted from our long day.
In the morning, I walked all over the Old Town. Quito is a beautiful city. Although, there is a noticeable amount of pollution. Surrounded by mountains with colorful homes scattered on the crests, it is the second highest city in the world. It took a lot out of me to climb up the hills. The Quitenos are also very friendly. Maybe the friendliest I have encountered so far in South America. I had a 20 minute conversation with the couple who owned the juice stand by the Iglesia de Santo Domingo. Looking forward to returning some day.
