so landing in Quito, Ecuador at 11 o'clock at night was a little scary, but managed to find this great hostel in the old town center. Had breakfast on the rooftop, and wandered around downtown in between rain storms.
spend 5 seconds on the streets of Quito....
spent most of the day making plans and booking a Galapagos trip. You have to pay for the trip in cash, but the ATM's only let you take out $500 a day. Luckily Heather gave me the tip ahead of time, so I had $1000 of travelers checks, and I only had to spend one day going to the bank to make up the difference. The travel agent's office looked a bit like a mafia den with all the cash flying around.
