Miami....ah

Wandering off a 757 at 4:30am with eye boogers blocking your vision is a bad start to any day. Make that world that your walking into dense with humidity and heat. Make the coffee weak, and take away nearly everyone's ability to speak english. Bad right? Okay now have all the men trade in their pants for speedos. Sounds like a twisted nightmare right? That my friends is Miami, and the world I stepped into when I got off my plane in Miami for my 9 hour layover. Elizabeth's been busy in Ecuador going to a wedding and seeing the sights for a week now while I stayed home and took care of cleaning our house and the rest of moving out. Now after a red-eye from SFO I'm in Miami a mere 4 hours more from my destination, but I already feel like I'm in a different country! When we meet tonight, Elizabeth has us a room at a hostel and hopefully we'll be able to enjoy a little bit of guayaquil tonight. We're on a plane to the galapagos in the morning. I can hardly wait. The plan right now is to be in the galapagos till the 16th, do some hiking till the 21st on the mainland, then climb Cotopaxi on the 22nd after getting appropriately acclimatized.
