returned

i've been all too quiet the past few weeks, but i have a good excuse. i spent most of the last two weeks in ecuador. i went for work, and found quito, the galapagos islands, cotopaxi and the otovalo indian market to be much more wonderful than i had imagined. and the highlight was (hands down, no contest) the galapagos.

i've been a little under the weather since returning home, so i'll just give you a teaser of some of the photos to come. the picture above was taken from the dingy that took us on our shore excursions.

this is me at the ecuator...



and this is one of the huge turtles at the darwin research center...



i'll post a bit more when i'm not jet-lagged and under the weather.
