Today 3 other people joined me in my travels. * Efrat, who I met through LaMetayel in Israel, joined me this morning. * Dina, who Efrat met on the plane also joined us. * Sagiv, Who Efrat met through LaMetayel, joined us this evening. We did not do much today, just walked around the new town in Quito, and looked for Galapagos cruises.
