I looked out the window

and what did I see?  This. 

 

We flew to Ecuador for Thanksgiving because who doesn't?


We stayed one night in a completely normal Hilton Hotel and our window overlooked the Guayaquil Temple and a toy store that advertised Black Friday sales.  (We North Americans have exported the most random ideas.  Explain black Friday when you don't have Thanksgiving Thursday.)


Wednesday morning we flew to the Galapagos for an Island cruise.  Our boat held the 27 guests and 13 crew.  We three were the only Americans.  We spent five days with 2 Canadians, 2 Australians, 3 Swiss and 17 Swedish, one Indian chef and the Ecuadorian crew.

The entire adventure reminded me of an elementary school field trip.  We left the boat each morning on the 2 dinghies to see the sights and then landed for a hike and snorkeling.  We returned to the boat for lunch, a short siesta then did everything on repeat in the afternoon.

The views were amazing.


That's our boat out there.
