The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

There was not much time after we finally got up before we have to go back to the airport. Especially because we picked a hotel closer to the airport so it’s not in the central tourist area. So we got a pizza at the Italian place next door and are now waiting in the pretty garden outside the hotel.

Nobody speaks much English here. Which is odd because driving in last night a lot of the graffiti on the freeway was in English. We have been having some trouble communicating. The lady that runs the hotel is used to tourists and speaks in short sentences with occasional English words so that works out OK.

“Check in manana. Sueno ahora.”

In the morning I came down for the wifi password and wound up with breakfast.

Time now to head to the airport, although it seems that we should have booked a cab a while ago as we might be in a bit of a rush. Here’s hoping everything is fine.

Do not be deceived by the flurry of pictures from Alberta and the “We are here” map that is stuck in Edmonton. We have arrived safely in Quito.

We arrived at midnight and it was raining. So I haven’t seen any of Quito other than our hotel room. And Matt’s still in bed, so he probably wouldn’t approve of me posting pictures of that.

I’m just uploading some old pictures from Alberta I put together on the plane so we can convince people we meet that Alberta is nice too. Well, not so much right now, but for a couple of months a year at least. The pictures are pretty random as we just downloaded files onto a USB key at the last minute. So we have pictures from Lake Louise, with no actual pictures of Lake Louise, and pictures from Writing on Stone, but no pictures of the writing on the stone. Well planned. 🙂

Hopefully Matt will recover from the long day of travel before we have to get on the next airplane so we can do something interesting.
