Mindo

I know this is getting confusing, but I cannot do much on the blog re: Galapagos right now. The internet signal is low and pictures get stuck. We left Quito today (Sunday) afternoon and it took 2 1/2 hours to get 80km to Mindo. It is pouring rain as we are in the cloud forest. I took a walk around town this afternoon and stepped off a steep curb. My knee went out and I landed flat on my back in the street. No one, I mean no one, attempted to assist me. The fellow who runs the hostel is a bird guide but I think he really tried to take us on a price for a rather disappointing itinerary. We didn't bite so he brought the price down. I'm not all that enthused with where we are going but at 5am tomorrow we'll be on our way!
