Arrival in Quito - 07.09.09

My first entry must be brief, since I am now going on 23 hours of perpetual motion!  I arrived to a beautifully illuminated city, an amazing hotel room, and extremely courteous people.  Though tired from the frantic last day in Houston, including only a 23-hour turnaround from my LA travels, I find myself surprisingly energetic still even at 3AM. Tomorrow, I will start house hunting in earnest, though I have been doing some searching by internet, and go to the office.  No effects from the altitude yet, though I do feel a faint headache coming on ...or is that from insomnia?  Can't wait to see the city in daylight in just a few hours (on my birthday!), but it sure is pretty at night.
