I ended up staying an extra night with Soar, and I felt quite emotional when I had to leave! A beautiful apartment, yes, but more important than that was the warmth given to me but this amazing woman! She looked after me and helped to ensure that my introduction to Quito was happy, comfortable and I genuinely felt at home within hours! Nothing was too much trouble and I never felt I was in the way, even when I took over the kitchen! Thank you, thank you, thank you Soar, I shall miss you xx
