Nosotras vivimos en Quito!

After a 3 hour delay and many moments of feeling lost in translation(even in NYC, where Avianca Air strictly hires Spanish speakers ONLY!), we arrived in Quito.We´ve been here for 3 eventful days, to say the least. Within 24 hours of being here we moved into a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment. How did we accomplish this, you might ask? Well, we decided the best way to do this was to walk into every building that resembled an apartment building, point and say "apartmento?" Needless to say, that didn´t work out too well. We then tried calling phone numbers we found posted in various internet cafes and leaving messages for random people. Since there was no way of getting back in touch with us, we realized this was also a bad idea. We aborted that mission and decided to stop into Beraca Spanish School, where we´ll be studying for 4 weeks, to introduce ourselves and ask about finding an apartment. Carmen, the school director, made one phone call for us and, voila, an apartment was found. We´ve also started our very much needed Spanish lessons. Our heads are spinning from the 4 hours a day we spend in a one on one lesson, but this will soon pass, hopefully. We haven´t had much time to explore the city between classes and homework, but we do have a great view as we walk home from class!
