And so it begins...

Got in late last night. I didn´t have any reservations anywhere, so the first hostel I went to was full. (Naturally, the cab left by the time I realized this). Thankfully, a nice Aussie girl walked me down to another hostel, where I was able to get a room for $5.60. I Had a wonderful breakfast of Cafe con Leche and jeuvos fritas and FRESH pinneapple juice and a croissant for $2.00. At this rate, I might actually stay on budget! I Explored the "Old Town" of Quito by myself today and in the main Plaza came upon a Presidential appearance! So cool! Check out the pics! Anyway, that´s all for now...hopefully I will make some friends in the Hostel tonight that I can go exploring with tomorrow!
