Granizo!

The weather in Quito is a great conversation piece. Here we are stuck in school because it´s hailing outside...again. Everyone got a kick out of the fact that we´ve only seen hail maybe 5 times in our lives. The mornings are beautiful, with warm sunshine and blue skies, but by 3pm the dark clouds roll in. You never know if the clouds are going to dump a 5 minute shower on you or a 30 minute hailstorm, either way it makes for a cold and wet evening. Pam and I have been troopers and braving the weather. We´re the only two people walking the streets and as we run out of clean, dry clothes, we´re considering switching to indoor activities. We´re going to our first salsa lesson this afternoon! More to come on how that goes, until then, hasta luego!
