Ship's Log:
We are merely a day from the diverse Galapagos Islands, 65 miles from the equator and only hours from a really delicious looking mud pie. The day was spent sleeping in the sun, sleeping in the shade, eating, napping after lunch, and sleeping on the aftcabin deckhouse. We all excitedly await what Darwin´s Playground has to offer because, frankly, we´re all getting a little lazy. There´s also talk of a pending cameo from a certain King Neptune at the equator tomorrow. Last night we had our first service. This was an opportunity to learn about each others interesting and very varied beliefs. Our song and discussion was interupted briefly by the reappearance of a strange helicopter. This same helicopter hovered over us for a time in the afternoon, too. An American army chopper? A tourist company? Columbian air pirates? Who knows. What an exciting life we lead.-AMANDA
