back on the mainland! i have arrived in guayaquil, ecuador from the galapagos. the islands left me sunburnt and soaked behind the ears... i will be posting pictures when i arrive in lima tomorrow afternoon after my 25 hour bus ride. that´s right, 25HOURS! for most people this is probably a minor kidnapping torture of sorts, but i have to admit, i love rides of this stature. i like seeing the changes in landscape, people, and culture as we bump along the roads... you never know what you´re gonna see. the good thing is that it comes with lunch, dinner and a bathroom (i think... fingers crossed)... i suppose it also reminds me of the epic summer trips we would take when we were kids. my parents, aunt, uncle, sister, and cousins all piled into the family bronco or illegally riding (who knew it was illegal? unsafe, perhaps, but illegal?) in the tow-trailer behind all the way to wyoming to see old faithful.´ KOA! i remember shouting whenever we saw the campsite billboards on the highways. it´s probably shaped alot of who i am, those trips. i´ve always loved them and am chasing them still...
so off i go... i will upload all that i wrote while in the islands and internet deprived... but the pictures will be a bonus!
just wanted to say hi to everyone and, no, i didn´t get eaten by a shark... in fact, i decided to strap on that flipper and head back into the waters and face that shark. and face it i did....
more to come on that later... i gotta bus to catch!

Hurry hurry! We're livin' vicariously out here!
24+1 hour of bus drive is way too much for me. My butts can't take all the seating.
Good luck with the bus ride!! --rebecca
