We're on Galapagos Islands but can't post much with poor internet service -- don't despair!

Faithful readers, we're halfway through our Galapagos week, but the internet is either extremely slow and spotty, or nonexistent on these islands and our boat. But we're having a fabulous time, taking lots of photos, and keeping a pretty good log so we won't forget stuff. This will probably be my last post before we head for home on Friday, after which I'll collect our photos and do a blow-by-blow story with pictures.

In a nutshell, this part of the world is beautiful, fascinating and warm/hot. Great guides, food and accomodations (a luxury yacht sleeping 48). I've been bumped into by sea turtles, had a sea lion play chicken with me twice (all underwater), been stung by a jellyfish, faced down very large tortoises, chased 3 baleen whales, ate and drank way too much, hiked a lot, and been a part of strange and beautiful wildlife and plants.

More later when we get home, unless the internet suddenly improves. I've been able to post a few notes on Facebook, but no capacity for the blog here.
