QUITO!!!!!!!!

Heyyyyy! okay, so i wanted to tell you about Quito because i think it´s absolutely amazing!

Okay, so my favorite part of Quito is this whole living in a big city thing. I love it! i´ve always wanted to live in a big city, and now i am! it´s soooooo cool! I love all the shops and there´s tons of malls here! in Quito alone, i think there´s like 9 malls! i completely love it!

The transportation is pretty cool too! there´s 3 different kinds of buses that run here. The red ones are like subways, which was really exciting when i rode on one for the first time! I went with my Friends Kruskaya and Anjelita. They didn´t warn me about it before hand, so it came as a total surprise. It was super fast and crowded. there was barely any room to breath!!!! Wow, it was crazy! then you had to like run to get out of the doors before they closed. It was scary, but i totally loved it! it was definately worth experiencing. The other buses are blue and yellow, and i believe that they just go to different parts of town...but i´m not sure because i haven´t ridden on either of those yet! The other form of transportation around town, of course, are taxis! But i´m totally scared of those. People told us that we need to be really careful when taking taxis in Quito because if the drivers know you´re American, they´ll try to take advantage of you. So, i don´t use those if i can help it.

Traffic is crazy here! If we want to go to the supermarket, which is like a 1o minute drive from my house, it takes like half an hour to get there! I´m totally serious! Everywhere´s super crowded too, so lines pretty much anywhere, are superrrrrrr long! It´s totally different, since Houghton´s so small, but I´m getting used to it, and i like it!

My favorite part of Quito is the trees and mountains! The trees are soooo big and amazing looking! they look totally exotic! And the mountains are amazingggg! they´re big and gorgeous, and look completely amazing with the sky behind them. It´s just so great! Since you can´t really see mountains in Houghton, they really excited me, which made my family laugh because here, there´s nothing really that special about mountains! But i think they´re amazing! there´s volcanoes here that are really gorgous too!

So, that´s my brief discription of the crazy amazingness of Quito!
