Now that I’m rested, I’m feeling much better. It’s amazing what lack of sleep does to me!

Yesterday, I spent a lot of it organizing stuff, figuring out how to make the apartment mine, planning what sorts of stuff I want to buy, walking around the new neighborhood, etc.

What I love…

the cool, crips mountain air

older ladies who call me “my daughter” and “my love”

fresh flowers

tropical fruit

how easy it is to get around on public transport

Today will be another day of shopping, walking, resting, enjoying life in Quito. I hope to travel soon to some smaller towns where I have friends and see them.
