Sounds like you are having a good time.
I guess you didn't "do" enough walking, or should I say "stepping" in Peru so you are doing some more. I enjoyed the Amazon but it was terribly HOT!! The lodge was very nice, even without electricity and a 4th wall in the room I stayed in. I had 2 little friends in my room both nights....2 frogs the size of my fist. They didn't bother me and I didn't bother them. I guess we came to an agreement! We saw a few birds that I have never heard of, a couple of monkeys, and the largest rodent in the world. Forgot his name at the moment. I had to wait 10 hours in the Lima airport for my plane home, but after 18 hours I finally arrived. Enjoy the penguins tomorrow.

Penguins!
What color are these penguins? Daytime, nighttime, in the water or out?

How fun to be so near the sea lions and to see a baby one! How big were the iguanas that you saw?

Galapagos
Sounds like you're having the trip of a lifetime!! I'd like to see a picture of you riding a tortoise or at least being chased by one! NY is unseasonably warm today, high of 75 degrees... Yanks playing tonight for World Series berth :-) Be safe and keep sending your updates.... hope you are having a great time - Bill

Galapagos
Hi-I'd love to see those giant tortoises so what's the island like? Sounds like you are enjoying. Can't wait to see pictures didn't know you enjoyed birds. I've had my run too when I nearly lost an owl on broadway once tell you more next time.

Return to Mulberry
As you know, we arrived at the Thunderbird around midnight and we had a wake-up call at 3AM. The plane left Lima on time and we arrived in Miami on time but the luggage was so slow to arrive that we had to run for the terminal after we cleared customs. After going through Chicago we arrived home close to 11 PM and I had to work the 7AM shift the next day. Good thing there's a higher concentration of oxygen here; I think that's keeping us going. Hope your trip to the Galapagos is stunning!

Tortoises in Galapagos
Hi Mindy--I can't wait to hear if you are able to see those huge tortoises that roam in the Galapagos. (Actually, I saw them at the zoo and found them a bit scary). Sooooo....is it evolution (Darwin) or is it creationism? Thanks for posting the interesting details of your trip.

Well well well...first off how's it going although it's obvious you haven't missed a single step yet...glad to hear all about your trip on a daily basis...gosh...I guess I won't have much to ask you upon your return huh??? Anyhew...want some Thai...? I'm ordering (smile). Well I tried writing you before on the train and I ended up losing my whole confounded message. Well, I hope you get this one, have a ball and keep that travelblog a coming!!! Gives me something to read on the trAin. Bye for now!!!!! Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
