Estoy aqui, en Quito!
(I am here, in Quito!)
OHMYGOSH, the city is beautiful! Located at 9300+ feet, Quito is a city in the clouds. Beyond the high-rises in almost any direction you look, you'll see large, inviting mountains, just begging to be trekked. Here, just a fraction of a degree below the equator, the sun is not stingy. Its strong rays seem to make every color brighter.
We're staying at a hotel for the first couple of days while we do our orientation, and Sunday night we move in with our host families, where we will live for the semester. The "we" I'm referring to is our Brethren College's Abroad (BCA) group, made up of 22 students (14 gals, 6 guys) from five different US colleges.
The highlight of today was riding the public buses from Quito to the university, which is a 30 min bus ride from the city. I'll be making this trip every day, but I doubt it will ever lose its beauty. The bus winds back and forth, up and down, through beautiful passes. There was so much to look at!
It's going to be an awesome semester. :-D
