We arrived in Quito, Ecuador around 1:30 AM. It was great to see some old friends from our previous trip: Omar Rodriguez (director of CEMPROC in Ecuador) and Javier (bus driver). This time, there was a new bus driver, Juan Carlos. The airport was an hour away from Hotel Sol de Quito. By the time we got to the hotel and settled down into our rooms, it was around 3:00 AM. We were pretty tired and fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows…
Since we came in extremely late, we decided to take the morning to rest. Some of us decided to go to Parque Carolina. When we were here two years ago, we also visited Parque Carolina. This time we did not have as much time to explore as we did last time, but we were able to see the pond that we saw last time. When we visited the park on our previous visit, we witnessed an enormous fitness class taking place in the park. We also saw people practicing some form of martial arts and sword fighting. I was also very courageous and climbed a jungle gym and stood on top of it!! Great fun!!
