Lima- 9:11 PM I woke up at 7 but went back to sleep until my alarm went off at 8. I felt pretty good and I had laid out my clothes last night so I was ready in about 10 minutes. We went down for breakfast that was pretty good, especially the French toast. We got down on the bus around 8:40 but we ended up having to sit in the back because all the seats were filled. A quick survey of the bus told me that the makeup of this group was very different than the prev...

Quito- 10:45 PM Surprisingly, it wasn't that cold when I woke up, even though we didn't have our heater on all night. Mimi was up around 6 to go on a morning walk with a few people. I "slept in" until a little after 7. Mimi took a cold shower because apparently there was something wrong with the heat. I went up to breakfast and she met us up there about 15 minutes later. It was a sit down breakfast with tree tomato juice and rolls to start. Then, we all got cr...

In the air, sitting in first class, over Quito- 6:56 PM I woke up nutlike times during the night. When I woke up at 8:30, I had a horrible headache so I decided to go back to sleep until it went away. I was also having weird dreams that didn't help, either. I set my alarm to go off at 9:30. Mimi had gone to breakfast already so I got dressed and headed down around 9:45. Mimi was there, along with about 10 other group members. I ate some cold pancakes and eggs a...

Baños- 10:58 PM We were supposed to get a wake up knock on our door at 6:30. That never happened so I was happy that I set my alarm for 6:30. I didn't sleep very well. It took me forever to go to sleep and when I did, I had a dream that I had the measles. It could have been because I woke up with even more big bites. We went to breakfast at 7:00 and got on the motor canoes around 7:45. We took the 10 minute ride back to the bus. We loaded up and got on the roa...

Punto Ahuano- 9:44 PM I slept pretty well last night, despite the fact that there were birds and insects making noise all night. Thank God for ear plugs! We got up at 7:15. I woke up with a couple more bug bites- one on my finger and one on my ankle. The one on my arm is pretty swollen, which I fully expect the others to end up looking like, too. We went to breakfast at 7:30. We sat with Judy and Jose. I had eggs and fruit, as usual. We came back to the room t...
