Galapagos

---

Another chapter! We are sitting in our Quito guesthouse, snuggled in as it is a bit colder and wetter than we expected... and having just left 75 degree Galapagos it feels even colder. Galapagos was absolutely amazing!! We visited 10 islands and each one was different from the other. Overall we had great weather, sunny the first 5 days, high clouds the last 3. The sheer # of animals and there total lack of fear of us was incredible. They were so curious. I am going to get this sent before I lose it. We leave tomorrow for a 5 day trip the Napo River one of the tributaries of the Amazon. Sorry for the spelling errors, its too hard to make the changes . It looks like some of the changes did not take.
