Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy! I just signed up for another trip - this time to South America. I am traveling with another Master Naturalist. We'll fly into Quito, Ecuador and then take a guided tour of the Galapagos Islands in January, 2011. As I child I remember the Galapagos tortoises at Como Zoo. Kids would line up to take a ride on the back of a tortoise. I did it too. I remember the strange feeling of slow progression and the sound of the claws on the cement. I'll get to see the Galapagos tortoise again. We're not allowed to ride them though. I am super excited to take this trip. I feel blessed to have the circumstances come together to make this possible. This will be my fourth continent. Besides North America (of course) I've been to Europe and Africa. This will be my second trip across the equator. Here is a brief description of the trip:
