galapagos retrospective

While in the Galapagos, I didn't have computer access to encourage my usual long rambling journal entries. So instead I took brief cryptic notes on a small pad of paper, mainly to help me remember what happened which day on what island. I hereby reproduce these in all their incoherent glory, with a little added explication.

( day 1, South Plaza )

( day 2, Genovesa )

( day 3, Isabela and Fernandina )

( day 4, Santiago and Bartolome )

( day 5, North Seymour, Santa Cruz )

( day 6, Floreana )

( day 7, Espanola )

things that are annoying

I took my car to the shop today and paid $180 to find out that repairing the AC will cost $1200. And they didn't have time to do the minor service, so I had to make another appointment for that. At least they washed it...

In other news: I realized yesterday that NONE of the handymen/companies that I called when I was panicking about the faucet outside ever called me back. Talk about rude, not to mention bad business sense.
