Day 2-3, Arrival in Quito, Ecuador and Santa Cruz Islands in the Galapagos

Intermittent internet access doesn't allow for daily blogging here in the Galapagos, but this is an amazing other-worldly place. The kids are doing great--we hiked several miles today and saw tortoises, marine iguanas, and flamingos. Having a ball back working with college students, but also exposing my own children to this country. Wow. Nothing much more to say. I'll post more ASAP about all our adventures.

We are having an amazing time. Food is great—each lunch and dinner begin with soup (usually vegetable or cream-based), then fish (usually albacore tuna) or chicken, rice, French fries, and veggies. Every meal lunch and dinner is nearly the same. 

Breakfast consists of bread and jam, eggs, fresh fruit. Today the owner picked bananas off the tree right at our table.
