Ten years ago today, Marion and I arrived in the Galapagos for our first overseas trip together. We had spent a couple of days in Quito ahead of our flight to San Cristobal Island, and we had a good time there.<\/p>\n
The Galapagos were incredible. We were on a tour with GAP Adventures (now G Adventures<\/a>), and spent ten days traveling to five of the islands and seeing the sights. After the tour ended, we spent another few days traveling through Ecuador. A very nice trip. I still have a Panama hat that I bought, along with a couple of shirts, one from the Galapagos Marine Reserve, and the other with Lonesome George<\/a> embroidered on it.<\/p>\n I’d love to go back, but I doubt that I ever will. I’d probably say more about the trip, but my ISP has changed the interface used to write posts, and I didn’t realize it until started to write this article. I don’t know how to do anything without inserting the HTML manually, and I don’t know where to find things yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ten years ago today, Marion and I arrived in the Galapagos for our first overseas trip together.
