First of all I am so happy for you Meg, how cool that you are in Bali already!!! Please keep us posted.
I am at the Galapagos which has been so good. I have been working here for a week translating for a group of journalism students from U of O. They are really good people and talking to them just reminds me of the awesome/crazy times we had in Eugene!
Translating has not just meant that but also to join them in all their trips so today we went to the "kicker rock" close to San Cristobal where I am and we snorkelled and swam with sharks, sea turtles, colorful fish and very very playful baby sealions... it is really good! I was getting tired of the city already.
This adventure however is very short, I arrived last Sunday and will go back to Quito tomorrow. On Monday I will be working for a teacher that just started "community tourism" and I will be teaching some spanish for students that come from the U.S and then we will go to the subtropical forest for a couple of days (to Mindo). After that, which is a week, I will start a formal internship in Quito, I just got accepted in one that I applied. I wish I coud stay in Galapagos for longer though...
I really wish we could all be here, I am serious, we should organize a trip to the Galapagos, we can do some volunteering and also visit and have a great time!!! Ok, please keep that in the back ( or really present) of your mind!
Send you all a big sea lion hug!

luci, sounds like you are having a wonderful summer! i am soooo jealous that you were able to swim with such amazing animals... it is the world beat festival in salem this weekend, celebrating music, dance and diversity... very cool event that i am sure you would have enjoyed if you were in town.
anyway, good stuff! thanks for sharing.
Wow, this sounds amazing. A trip to see you and to play with baby sea lions is in my very present mind....
The Galapagos sound amazing. I have always wanted to go there to see Darwin's finches. After his trip he shocked the biological world with his thesis of evolution through natural selection because of the different beak shapes of the birds. I am sure you already know all about this though. You are so lucky! What is your internship in Quito?
OH! OH! OH! Luci, I'm so excited to see you! Your summer sounds so interesting and exciting and fresh!
Keep up your coolness!
