I arrived safely in Cuenca today. I left MSP yesterday at about 9:30am and arrived in Quito, the capital, at 12:00 midnight. I had arranged for an airport pickup, which was great because the plane was supposed to get in at 11:05. So I am glad I had a ride to the hostel still!! The driver was really nice and he wrote my name on a sign and everything--very official. So basically I just went to the hostel for some sleep (hostel casa kanela in Quito--would recommend) and some breakfast because I left this morning at 8:45.
I flew from Quito (9500 ft) to Guayaquil (0ft) to Cuenca(9000ft) and arrived with some altitude sickness. No problem though, I slept it off and am going to take it easy for the next few days. I start at the school on Wednesday and will be sure to post some pictures as well as let you know how it is going. It hasn't hit me yet that I am here! I am making an appearance at the orf tomorrow and can't wait to see all the girls and my friend santiago!
So stay tuned, I will post pictures asap! Cuidense todos! (take care everyone!)
eLo
