I never did get to write up more about the miraculous Galapagos.  Life got in the way.  These days, I am actually writing for a living and I continue to both pinch myself and thank God on a daily basis that I got so lucky.

Had no time to do anything but work and sleep in Quito, but had a wonderfully relaxing weekend in Cotacachi&#8230;I even left my computer in Quito so I wouldn&#8217;t be tempted.

It's not just the cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, the abundance of shops and boutiques in town, the large malls, the many suburbs nor modern condos. There's something else I can't quite capture in words yet, but sure do feel inside where words are meaningless.]]></description>
