Puerto Quito

On Thursday, Oct. 9th, I was picked up in Quito by Fr. Martin Kelly, and we crossed the equator, and descended the Andes Mountains, through a cloud forest to the coastal plains (but still cloud forest) of Puerto Quito (where I'll stay until Monday). Fr. Martin has 50 recintas (villages) that he tends to at least monthly! I can take off my jacket and sweater again! I still won't get my tan back here, though!
