Well Quito has turned out to be a pretty cool city. The Spanish is going well. The pick up Ultimate is really fun (Tina about to make a great catch to the right). We are trying to complete our research of the country in order to pack the bikes and leave the city. We are planning on leaving Quito early next week to explore the rest of the country by bicycle. We will head south for the next 2-3 months of exploration before entering into Peru for 2-3 months and will finish our trip in Bolivia for 1-2 months. Photos: Me and Tina chilling in the hostel courtyard for a relaxing afternoon. Tina working with her Spanish Professor. Some school kids playing on the sculpture in the park right next to the hostel.
Me and Tina´s different study habits. And I wonder why she knows more Spanish then me, Huh!

Yep, its been cool. It took us forever to find the Ultimate players as the park is huge and is pretty dedicated to soccer, and also since they weren't throwing as they forgot a disc. (not so different here). The field had rather large sand pits to navigate and all the classic characters one would find at good pick up in the US. (the guy with the overhand flipper throw, the guy that is perma-dump with 70s style short shorts.) It was super fun. Steven had lots of turns due to the lack of air and lack of touch on throws.
Spanish lessons are hard, 4 hrs a day. Neither of our teachers speak much english but they are patient and we are working on it!
