La Mariscal, or Gringolandia, is a part of Quito that filled with shops and restaurants during the day and night clubs and bars during the night. Since we had nothing to do yesterday (Tuesday 8/26) a couple of us Oregon students decided to get some practice using the buses and discover what Gringolandia was all about.

Trivia at Finn McCool's |
Later that night, one of our Ecuabuddies (an Ecuadorian student who is paired up with us through a club at USFQ) invited us out to Trivia at Finn McCool's, an "Irish Pub" in La Mariscal. We played a game of very Gringo-centric trivia, similar to what I play on Tuesday nights at Applebee's in Corvallis (One of the questions was even "What is Tiger Woods actual first name?") After trivia we went out dancing for a bit, before we all piled into a taxi together and headed home.
