Well here we are.... We finally made down to the other side..Our plane ride was not that bad at all from Pittsburgh to Miami, although TK thought the plane was kinda small for her liking... i woiuld have to agree...Once we  got to Miamai it took u another hour to fin out terminal... Way to go miami for not putting correct signs where they need to be. Once we found our terminal we made a friend that actually was flying back to her home land ( Quito) her name was Madre.. she was suer nice and her english was very well...we exchanged emails and boarded the plane. The plane was like the mac daddy of all planes. It had 2 aisles on either side and a middle section all the seats had tv on  them and we got dinner...What more could you ak for?  4 hours later we finally landed in Quito. It is breath taking...literally the altitude here makes it really hard to breathe.. but yeah the country iu beautiful and not what i expected at all.. Once we got to the airort no one was speaking english so i had to put mine to the test... hahaha didnt go so well but we surived. ater icking u our luggage we met Elaine which is our advisor and her amiga Sussie.. She is super nice and knows the language and where to go very well. I would say so since this is her native land. We got a taxi and the guy through everything into a taxi for us..  The city is amazing.. My spanish not so much... Once we got to our hotel we icovered that we both left our pillows somewhewre or the guy that put our luggage in                did not put them in the taxi.. Oh well it could have been alot worse. We got a hower and called home then decided to go out to eat. The food is muy bieno  (very good) and is not that different. Sussie is an amazing peron and has so much to share with us. She does speak alittle english but not much. After dinner we walked arond for ahile and called it a night....
