“He was impregnably armored by his good intentions and his ignorance.”
― Graham Greene, The Quiet American

Finished my first day here in Quito. My flight got in at 11:30pm, but immigration, customs and corralling this years' new hires made it so that we didn't arrive at our hotel until 2:00 am. Crashed right out and woke up feeling like I had been asleep for only a few minutes. 

Rather than eating a full meal, breakfast was spent meeting and getting to know some newbies from Colegio Americana de Quito. Next it was a fast and full schedule of: setting up a bank account, applying for our Visa document (not just the stamp in our passports), meeting the administrators of our school, stopping to remind ourselves "We're in Quito!",  and taking a small tour of the city (this place is HUGE!). Before I knew it, it was time for dinner.  Settled in at 8:30 and was able to Skype with my lady for a bit. 

As of right now, all of my feelings of nervousness have been replaced with excitement. Apartment hunting tomorrow!
