Greetings from Quito!
Our first day in Quito brought half of our team tremendous adventures and tourism activities. A visit to La Basilica was a great was to start the day that included climbing to the top of the building and hundreds of photos. We also took a brief stop to La Plaza Grande and visited the Ecuador equivalent of the White House. Our wonderful hosts Austin and Diana have delivered insightful information and guidance at each stop.
Lunch was at Fruteria and we enjoyed various empanadas, massive bowls of fresh cut fruit (whip cream included), and an assortment of delicate yet flavorful blended fruit juices. An afternoon at a monument provided us with some shopping and a scattering of rain. The evening closed with reflection, journaling, and stories.
The remainder of the group joined us late and we gathered sleep for a long day in the mission field.
All is well, everyone is healthy, your kids are safe, and we’re having a blast!
