A Day in Quito

5.25.14
We had until 3 today to tramp around Quito. BTW, we are in the same time zone as TX. We did a little shopping in the Market and met a group for lunch. Oops the van that is to pick us up is going to be 15 minutes late, but we have plenty of time.
This is our friend John as we wait for our van. The van got stuck in traffic and we had to split up our group of 10 travelers in 3 cabs to make our flight. Our cab had so much luggage that we rode half way to the airport with the truck open! Finally the cab driver saw the imprudence in this, stopped the cab and put a bag between R and me. We will have a 2-hour plane flight to Lima. More later-if internet permits!

Randy's Big Adventure 
After getting our passports stamped Randy realized he left his walking stick in restroom. He was told he could go look for it, but when he did he was stopped, taken into a room to be fingerprinted and questioned about the lost item. I was waiting impatiently especially when I saw airport security take him into a room. Not only was I worried about him, but our luggage and missing our guide. After about 30 minutes they released him with his walking stick, we claimed our luggage and met ou guide. Whew—what a day!
