 Thanksgiving Turkey overload in Ecuador

Grace uses email as a primary means of communication.


We spent 8 days touring Ecuador going up the spine of the Andes. We sent a huge package of pictures out today, but don't know how long they will take to get to the USA.

We will be leaving for the Galapagos either tomorrow or Sunday. It will take 4-6 days to get there; we will tour for about a week & 1/2- head back to Panama-spend Christmas there with Lori & Seth. He is a priest at St Luke's in Panama City & she teaches at the university. After Christmas we will go through the canal-head for Cartagena & plan a trip to Vegas. We plan on putting Gracie into Club Nautica and having some cosmetic surgery & other work done on her while we are in the states.

Miss you all very much --love you lots! Jerry and Ellen

PS. We had a turkey dinner yesarday that was off the charts thanks to Ellen. How do you find a turkey in Ecuador? It's not hard I'm aways around. But in fact we did find one and it was as good as any I have ever had. So much for this, we will be off for another 6 days at sea headed due west into the vast whatever to the fabled Galapagos, a dream come true.

Almost impossible to call from Ecuador due to differences in time & accessibility! Buena Suerte!
