Bienvenido, Quito

What's up Quito?

Quito has so many awesome parks. There's something for everyone here. Where's my skateboard when I need it? 

A brewery! Right next to the hostel! Finally some good beer! By far my favorite part of Quito.

This church had the most elaborate decor. 

The big ol' group of white tourists.
Took a bus from Otavalo to Quito. To save money and see the city better, I walked from the bus station to the area with all the hostels. 5 hours later I was tired and full of regret. Either way, I found an awesome hostel that has a ton of travelers staying there. Definitely the most Americans I've met in one place. Won't help my Spanish but it brings a level of comfort that I'm okay with. The absolute best part about this hostel is that it's next door to Bandido Brewery. Colombia and Ecuador have a complete and utter lack of good beer. Just a couple bad pilsners to choose from. Getting some tasty IPAs and stouts from Bandido completely rejuvenated me. 

I also joined a free 3 hour tour of the old town section of Quito. Lots of interesting history here. Overall though, I'm not very psyched on Quito and am ready to move on. Tomorrow I might head to Banos and explore some waterfalls, hot springs, and potentially go on a rock climbing trek up in the glaciers. Yeah, that sounds better.
