Visitors (including us)

40 years or 14,600 days

October 3rd, 2010, was our 40th wedding anniversary and we decided to try something completely different (or so we thought) and head to Middle Earth and the Galapagos. We would discover shortly after signing up for this trip of a lifetime that many others (besides Darwin) have gone before. Fortunately, news and photos from the trips of others have whet our appetite for this adventure of our lifetimes!

Near Mindo

Lots to write about if we get any free time - it's all good we had a long day yesterday landing in Quito after midnight last night and getting up at six this morning to connect with the other couple and our guide.  We are at a lodge near Mindo tonight and again tomorrow night so will likely upload some photos and write more then.  Today we drove on wagon trail roads at 3700 meters saw birds only ever dreamed of, farms and homes of the local people - we even saw 18 different species of hummingbirds!  Night night - we are up at 4 tomorrow to see the cock of the rock - apparently he only shows off in the morning!
