That´s right, we made it to Quito. Our two flights and 8 hours in the air went pretty smoothly besides the fact that one of the movies they showed was Alvin and the Chipmunks - "The Squeakuel." During our connection at Bogota internacional we had just bought some water when who else walks right by us but Ronaldo and a small entourage of three policemen! Crazy, within 30 minutes of setting foot in South America we see one of the biggest fùtbol stars of our time. It turned out a whole team was in the airport but the only other person I recognized was Roberto Carlos smiling for photos with whoever wanted them...our camera was in checked baggage.
We got in at 2:00am local time and slept until 11:00 today. Then we set out for some lunch and to find a more permanent place to stay. We succeeded in both attempts and also visited the language school where we will be starting classes on Monday: Escuela de Simon Bolivar. We are looking forward to our 3 weeks here in Quito before we head off into the jungle to volunteer our time with the organization Jatun Sacha.

By football you meant soccer, right? Does a professional soccer player count as a celebrity? Glad you landed safely...x...o?
ReplyDeleteSo Tight! Ecuador! Ronaldo! That is a good omen. Hope you guys are having a wonderful time. Despite the earlier misshap, if it's fuzzy, touch it.
