Back on land, but still rocking.


We arrived back on land this morning, but we all still feel like we are on the boat. We spent the last 5 days on a 63 foot sailboat, often running into walls, stubbing our toes, or falling over in the shower. The trip was amazing. Every single animal that is in a Galapagos guide book is now on our memory cards and in our memories. We saw blue footed boobies dancing, swam with sea lions and were surrounded by land and marine iguanas.

In about 15 minutes I am going to meet the woman with our cruise company who will have my luggage!! I bought a bathing suit before we left for the cruise, but it already has 2 holes in it. Now I can finally return Dad and Garvey´s clothes and shoes, and change into something of my own.

Tomorrow morning we fly out of Baltra and back to the mainland. Dad will be headed home to Albany while Garvey and I head to Lima. We will spend a few days getting acclimated to the elevation before leaving for our hike of the Inca Trail.

Hopefully I will be able to post again soon, but our time limit is counting down, and Garvey is getting antsy for his 15 minutes of internet!

Oh, and Garvey´s Chaco tan line is awesome.

  2. So glad you're back and posting again. I am an avid member of the Meaghan and Garv Do the World fan club. No blue-footed boobies here, though we do have other varieties. Can't wait for your journey to the Andes.
