Hey friends and family! We are in Quito! Yesterday we began orientation, visited a beautiful park, and had a great lunch and dinner together. The hostel we are staying in is very nice. We will be heading to the coast in 2 days to begin our first homestays! today we are working on a scavenger hunt. Our group ate ceviche de chochos and had some great pizza. The juice and coffee here is incredible!

Here’s Pete and I at a statue in the park, and me in the center of Quito:
