We made it to Ecuador! Thanks to John and Jane we all made it to our flights at the appropriate airports and everything went off without a hitch. Garvey and I met Dad and Jorge in Quito last night at the airport. Jorge and his adorable VW van were ready to take us to the hotel, but we had a minor issue- my bag was missing. After many minutes of spanglish conversation and Spanglish paperwork I accepted the fact that I would not have my bag for at least 2 days. It sure is a good thing I liked monday's outfit because I'm still in it!
Our hotel last night was a beautiful little place with an open courtyard and a view of the city that made Garvey want to "Aladdin- style roof jump." All of the walls were painted with beautiful bright colors and Garvey slept in his own loft for 2.
This morning we came to the Galapagos where it is boiling hot but incredibly beautiful. I sit here blogging in yesterday's clothes and my dad's shirt watching the boys swimming in the pool. On the pool deck, sipping my drink, I am surrounded by a napping sea lion, a humongous pelican with one wing, a blue footed booby, and some of the largest iguanas I have ever seen.
Hopefully the next time I blog I will have clean clothes and my chacos to work on my tan lines!
Hopefully this is the last time that your bag gets lost!
ReplyDeletegreat to hear that you have arrived safely..... you....I reiterate....but, as far as the bag..that is a different story.........have fun...watch those iguanas......
ReplyDeleteFantastic! It's so great seeing familiar faces in strange, far-off places. I can't wait to see pictures, too. Incidentally, I like what you're wearing. Just keep changing places and no one will know you wore it every day for the last week.
ReplyDeletesoo jealous!!!!! thats cool! i miss you guys!!!! i hope you were either wearing underwear under dad's shirt or some sort of bottoms on. were you scared?
ReplyDeleteErin and I just googled blue footed booby...boy that's a funny looking bird. When you get your lost bag back, you and Garv should each carry a few of eachother's things. Just in case either of you loses a bag again, at least you'll have something to change into.

Megs!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a blast so far. I am currently watching Little Miss Sunshine, and can't NOT think about you and halloween. I miss and love you, be safe, and bring home stories for me!!
