SA 29: Ciudad Perdida Day 1 – The beginning of eternal rain
This morning I woke up at 6:00 am to get my things ready for the Ciudad Perdida trek. I packed up my large camera, clothes, toiletries, and a few other odd things I would need in my large backpack to take with me and put everything else in a large garbage back to put into storage at the hostel. I then waited outside the hostel with the two Irish boys
SA 16: Diving Gordon’s Rocks
Today I had to wake up at 7:10 so that I could be ready to be at the dive shop at 7:30. It gave me about 10-minutes to get ready and 10-minutes to make the walk to the shop. I arrived at the shop where I found many people arriving and waiting around. There were 12 of us diving total and we would go in two groups each with our

Today we awoke early and had our usual breakfast at 7:00 AM. Several of the people on the boat were flying out around noon so we had our bags put in separate piles.

Day 11: Today Yoshi awoke me at 5am trying to tell me to get up because she booked a SCUBA trip and had to be ready by 7:20 am. I informed her that her time change was wrong and she had two hours to kill before heading to go SCUBA and to wake me up again then. She sat in the room and read or did something while I vaguely
SA 10: Welcome to the Galapagos Islands
Day 10: Last night I was under the understanding that Lupe would wake me up at 7:00 so I didn’t worry about looking at the time, setting an alarm, or anything once I awoke. I just laid in bed and waited and dozed in and out of slumber. Finally, I got up and looked at the clock and realized that it was 7:30. I jumped out and put on my
