Peace Out, South America (now knocking on wood)

If all goes according to plan, and my alarm goes off with aplomb, tonight shall be my last night in Ecuador, Peru, and the Galapagos too. That merits some sort of reflective post, but as you know, without a camera and snappy captions, my blog has no meaning. (That being said, I did buy a camera today, another one of my impulse buys, so hopefully I can bring you tidings and incriminating evidence of my friend Uncle J's wedding in Texas.) But back to the halfway point of the globe... truly it was the best of times and the worst of times, but mainly it was the happy medium of times. Animal rich, friend filled, both sunny and rainy, productive, introspective, bus-intensive... it was all of these things. There was many a joke lost in translation, but for the most part communication was smooth. The eating was fair, and the vomiting was far and few between. Most of all, I'll remember this country for its cheap bootleg dvd's and wealth of llama and alpaca products. Thank you Ecuador, and goodnight sweet prince.
