On our way home...

After sailing back to San Cristobal Island, Sunday morning we left the Flamingo I and went ashore on the pangas for the last time starting our long journey home.  We flew from the Galapagos back to Quito and had a long 8-hour layover in the the new Quito International Airport (it opened 3 days ago). Then we took a "red eye" flight that left Quito a little after midnight and arrived in Atlanta at about 6:00 a.m. on Monday morning. We are now in Salt Lake City waiting to board a plane on the final leg of our Ecuadorian adventure.  What a trip!  What an experience!
