VIP Lounge

This is the way to travel. I'm in the V ip lounge in Quito. I am going
business class to \Lima. This room has everything....the best tortillas
I-ve had since arriving, all kinds of drinks, wonderful magazines and
internet! Also , I-ve dodged my roomate. Yes, I have a roommate from
Toronto, who is following my footsteps. I-m trying to do my own thing and
she hers.

Galapagos was great, except for the ship. We had 13 passengers, about half
from Toronto and environs. Saw sea lions, seals, iguanas, sharks, snakes
and different kinds of birds. \i-m not a fan of boats especially in rough
seas, so I'm glad it was only for 3 nights. It was amazing though, lots of
lava rock and crashing waves. A bit reminiscent of new Zealand, actually.
We went on hikes and did snorkelling. \unfortunately, my mask didn't fit
very well or i didn't fit it. So I gazed at the colored fish and sharks
from the safety of the boat. m\aybe next time, I-ll try it again, but the
sensation of the salt water in my nose and mouth was less than great.

Just came back to shower and sleep in Quito for one night and as I said
before, I-m off to Lima. Quito is actually quite pleasant for me, since it
is springlike and and about 24 C as I hear that the weather at home is
snowy.

Hasta la vista. I-m going to sample the fruits in the lounge.
