First Night - Oct. 1st

Well we arrived late, but we weren't about to waste our first night in Ecuador. So about half the group left to head out to a salsa club (I believe named Seseribó) at the recommendation
of our friend Maria (native Ecuadorian who recently moved back to Quito, Ecuador after a 3 year stint in Cincinnati at Chiquita).
We were introduced to our first 'Pilsener', which apparently is the national cerveza of Ecuador. Now these are big beers. I'm not talking 16 ouncers, every place we had one of these they were double duecers.... a full 22 oz beer.

We also got our first taste of Ecuadorian prices. These large beers at a nice salsa club like Seseribo were only $1.50 (the most expensive price we found for beer all week). Chad Schenk, Maggie Brennan and Brie Rogers seen above enjoying the first of many to come for our Ecuadorian adventure.

Right about this time is when we all should have went home. The 'sipping' tequilla, was brought out... the fact that there is 'sipping' tequilla in Ecuador is all you need to know about the way they drink! Notice Johnmark's face for an idea of how tasty the sipping tequilla is.
