On Sunday I went to Medio del Mundo, Middle of the World, or the Equator. It took a little over an hour and a half by two buses.

Along the way different merchants would jump on board as the bus was moving selling different kinds of food from fruit to ice cream. And then they would just jump off again.

Well my third day is now complete. I know that I have only been in Quito for two full days, but it feels like its been longer. I am not sure how much longer I am going to be here. Leave for the Galapagos on Thursday the 12th for eight days. I currently have my room booked for one more night, so that leaves Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday night. I need to decide if I want to stay here in Quito or go someplace else first. I say I am going to the Galapagos on Thursday but it hasn’t been fully booked. I need to do that on Monday. When I return from the Galapagos I will be in Quito for a few more days hanging out with my friend Jens, who is currently in Columbia.
