Quito,& the Galápagos Islands(AKA Ecuador)
I really should be sleeping right now(got to get up at 4:30).But, I can't. There is good amount of night life in Quito, & I'm a light sleeper, so I can't sleep.
A few (horrible) photos of the trip so far

Thursday.
We arrived Thursday, in Quito.
So, yesterday we got in Quito around 6 PM. We met our guide, who took us to our hotel. Saw some pretty sites while driving to our hotel. I then got really sick. Food poisoning, with a combination of lack of sleep, dehydration,& stress. It sucked a lot. I really don't remember much beside getting sick, everything was foggy after that. My vision was totally messed up(I'm not sure if it was hallucination, or just messed up vision),& I got disorient.Fun, fun! Just slept the rest of the time.
Today-Friday
We toured the old town of Quito for a few hours. Visited a church covered in gold, went it some other artifacts, watched some villagers do native dances,& did a lot of walking. After we got back, we rested for a little, then went for the lunch, which wasn't the best. Rested more,& then ate dinner. Watched the World Cup because Ecuador was playing,& it was pretty exciting hearing the people cheer when they got a goal(they sure where loud!). We then walked around a bit, at night. I got a few things for family & friends.
Saturday
Tomorrow we will be leaving on a plane for the Galapagos. I'm then on a boat for four days.Im not sure if I'll have WIFI accesses, but hopefully.
Thanks for looking,& reading!
