The elevation also makes other things a little different- baking for example. I tried making cookies last week, and lets just say they didn't turn out very well. They were so bad that I couldn't even take pictures of them.... yep, they were that bad. Joe tried his hand at biscuits Saturday and with a little doctoring (and i didn't even plan that pun!) for the altitude they turned out very well.
And didn't last very long.....
The other thing that is definitely different is the weather. We have been here 7 days now and it hasn't rained once.... not even a little. We are used to daily rain... and we kind of miss it. I don't miss the extreme humidity, but I do miss the sound of rain in the morning. Also, we are COLD.... cold. Normal temperatures in Shell aren't hot, but compared with Quito they seem steamy.
