Day 314 - Quito

The climate in Quito is refreshingly cool and dry, with brief evening showers almost daily. Nights can get chilly, dropping into the 40s°F, but overall, it’s quite comfortable. Behind the school where we’re stationed, there are toilets and hot showers, which is really all we need—simple but sufficient with around the clock security.

At 10 AM, we headed to the Venezuelan Consulate to inquire about shipping our vehicle and the necessary paperwork. The information provided was minimal, but at least we got the basics. The Consul certainly made himself feel important, though, I must admit, he was far more civilized than the one we dealt with in Maicao last year. We were told to return on Monday with our passports, and our Visa would be ready the following day. Bureaucracy at its finest!
