We Arrived

We sat on the tarmac in Miami for about an hour and a half while they worked on the plane. They finally got it fixed and we left. We arrived in Quito about 8 p.m.

The airport is small and very third world in it's feel. Right outside there are buildings, businesses and so forth that have the feel of Tijuana. There are bars on all the windows and gates.

We got the house where we are staying. It's very nice. It's a large house with a big room used for a church on the back side. We, the men, are on the very top floor. There are six sets of bunk beds in the room.

I slept pretty well. One of the guys brought ear plugs which allowed me to sleep pretty well. It seems that everyone snored but I never heard it. It must have been pretty to hear.

This morning we are meeting with the Quito board and staff. This afternoon we are going to the center of the world. It's the exact spot of the equator.

So, that's about it for now. I will fill you in on more later.
