¿Qué hora es?

Hmmmmmmm. well today marks my 4th and last day in Quito. It is a sprawling city with sooo much to do.. Everyday has been extremely busy so far and I don't foresee me slowing down at all. My days have started at 6:00AM and have ended somewhere along midnight, which is something I discovered by walking down the street and noticing that every coffeeshop was closed. Was it a holiday? I thought. Probably not. ¿Qué hora es? I asked. Son las cinco y media the lonely guy on the street informed. Ohhhhh, that explained everything. If only I had a watch I wouldn't wake us early and maybe I could get to places on time, but I am on a budget (a strict one at that and one I'm probably going to greatly bust) so I'd rather use my money to buy Alpaca sweaters, strange food on the street, and of coarse- cerveza:) For now, asking someone what time it is actually is a pretty good conversation starter.
