We arrived to Quito around midnight, collected out luggage, and Betty and her husband, Marcello, from the Adventure Life office, met us just outside customs. It was hugs all around before heading off to the parking lot. It is always so nice to be picked up when you are in a foreign city! As we were walking through the parking lot Ryan spotted a black Land Rover Defender and started walking over to check it out. He kept saying how cool it was when Betty told us that was our ride. I thought she was just humoring him, but sure enough, that was their truck and we loaded in for the hour drive into Quito. We arrived to the Casa Aliso, our hotel for the next few nights, checked in and called it a day.
