Welcome to the Jungle…

I´m actually not in the jungle yet I leave tonight at 11:30pm. But this will be my last opportunity to blog until I return.

Not really sure what to post about, I feel to tired to recap the last 3 days of the galapagos. So I think I´ll just do a random thoughts post.

I learned that I need to get a new camera, while I was in the Galapagos, cause my zoom suuuuucks. But thats okay I still got cool pics.

I got seasick once on the trip - while traveling between the islands out in the open ocean. Otherwise all was well.

I am excited to get back and use internet that is faster then a snail.

The word for hungover in spanish is chuchakki

South American airlines still feed you and take care of thier passengers on short flights. (I may have mentioned this before don´t really remember).

I ate a bunch of raw veggies yesterday for the first time in about 2 months -and my stomach wasn´t happy with it.

I only have 8 days left -crazy.

The space key on this keyboard is totally broken and it´s taking me twice as long to type all of this.

At the beach we hired a guy to drive us around in his motorcycle taxi ( a motorcycle with a bench and sometimes a trunk area attached. Kinda looks like a big Tricycle) to drive us around for 40 minutes and it only cost us 2 dollars. That´s what cab fare starts at in Boston.

Oh and a special Congrats to Casey and Twan on the birth of their son!
