Leaving Quito for the Rainforest

Yesterday, we made it back to Quito and checked into a nice hostel
called Loro Verde, which had a place to park the car that we rented
for the next week and free internet, which is pretty awesome.

The last few days on the Galapagos tour were pretty fun, however they
seemed to be pretty repetitive. With the new guests that came on the
boat, we got a lot of the same speeches about the animals. Even the
animals and activities were pretty much the same as the first 4 days.
We did get a chance to see some Galapagos Waved Albatross and some
very nice scenery including a blow hole on the cliffs of Espagnola.

So, it's quite cold in Quito, and I can definitely feel the altitude.
Ravi and I hiked around Old Town and looked at all the beautiful
churches in the area during the night time. When we get back to Quito
on Friday, we'll definitely be able to go inside them. Later we had
dinner at a great place called the Magic Bean and called it a night.
Well I am off to start my day.
