Phrase of the day: "Solo para mujeres: 30 minutos, 3 veces por semana"... "Only for women: 30 minutes, 3 times a week"
Really Curves? I think you're going to have to try a little harder than that to entice women to come.
Naturally there are no gyms in San Isidro... I was in Quito for a night this past weekend. And it just became my second favorite city in South America. That may not be saying much, seeing as how I've only been to 3 major cities within the continent, but still, it beat my third favorite!
On Sunday I was introduced to Parque Metropolitano, my new favorite park in Quito.
It's not too far from the center of town, but still has some good views of the surrounding areas.
Quito, in general, is very modern. It's so modern it even had a dog park...
Exercise equipment...
Llamas (yeah, we're still in Ecuador)...
Pull-up bars...
And most importantly, bike paths (stoned and dirt)...
That was the highlight for sure. I'm going to have to go back one day, get acclimated to the altitude, and rent a mountain bike for the trails.
Not only are the parks great, apparently they sell cotton-candy at church on Sundays here!(?)
After the park I went to the mall and discovered this treat...
That's right, white-chocolate covered strawberries! I was actually there to buy sauces and spices, which I often can't find near town. (specifically the bbq sauce, olive oil, honey, and good salad dressing). No worries, I didn't go all the way there just to buy food...
In the evening I watched the Superbowl! Ha.
