Ecuador 2003: By bus from Quito, Ecuador to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
...........................................................

Front row: Rudy and Sue, Hassan (Australia), Kurt and Lucie (Germany);
Back row: German lady and her husband, English teacher now in Lima, his sister and her German husband, Graham (England). (I've forgotten some of the names of the people in our group.)
This group photo was taken by our guide Nacho at the famous Post Office Bay. There is an old barrel adorned with a variety of signs pointing the direction and giving the distance to places all over the world. Early settlers or visitors would leave their mail in hopes that someone who might be going in the right direction would take their mail and deliver it or pass it on. The custom continues today. We left some postcards (Sue is holding them in her hand). By the time we got home in April our daughter had already received hers, thanks to another Canadian visitor to the Galapagos!
