Been an interesting 24 hours. 12 of which was spent in Quito, 8 of which was spent in transit to Isla Santa Cruz and 4 of which has been spent getting a bed and wandering around the town. I have already: met Christopher (and his wife Elsie) by chance as he hunted down a replacement anchor, had beers, been promoted to Assistant Navigator (pretty prestigous! Mike - I really wish my life allowed me to visit with you and John before I left) and potentially been offered a slot on the Tonga to New Zealand (October) leg of his around the world journey. We shall see.
Chris is an opinionated yet thoughtful guy who likes to laugh. I think we will get along great.
Off to sort out some sort of tour. Its not really clear how long we will be here, but I am not really caring at this point. I don´t need to be on a plane for a goodly long time, there is nothing to reserve that is on the "critical path" to me getting on a boat and no bus to take that I don´t want to be on. Dovetail into the Pacific and forget about it.

Oh, you are really making me miss Costa Rica. Glad to hear you're having such a great time.

They're doing ground breaking work on Intelligent Design there.
ReplyDeleteWell, Laura Bush is on the island as we speak. I am sure there will be a "George W. Darwin Intelligent Design Centre" soon.
