....and I'm stoked I've made the decision to leave early to see more of the Galapagos, but have made this place home and met some absolutely amazing people. Miss my aussie buddy Liz and gorgeous Jeanette who left last week. Life here isn't the same without Ian, Austen, Lucas or Nicky either. And this morning Keith left too...one of sweetest blokes I think I've had the privilege of knowing. And it just gets worse...Mark leaves tomorrow then possibly Phil (if he can't change his flights).
At least I get to spend time with Steve and other Jatun Sacha peeps at the hotel in town on Friday night, before they leave and Bailey might be doing her open water...another newbie to introduce to diving :-) Saying goodbye to Becka, Humphrey, Jimmy, Christina and Silke will be hard on Friday :-(
To all you Jatun Sacha peeps...you are amazing, full of life, passion and spirit and I am thrilled I got to spend this time with you and call you my friends. Hope to see you sometime, somewhere out there :-)
I guess I'm feeling a little emotional this afternoon eh!?
Ok...moving on...
This morning Becka and I went through our bird pics with Caesar from my first week, classified them etc. then both shared our pics of our time around the station...Caesar wants to use some of them for the website. For some reason the compost pile was on the agenda again, so we joined Steve and Christina for an hour and a half of planting coffee beans (mine and Beckas lines were the straightest by the way, though Steve would def protest that). Had a fairly large spider try to edge his way into the process, but we told him to bugger off...
Had a top lunch, then we played football...Ecuador vs. The Rest of the World. Apparently I was pretty good on defense...a 'sweeper'...if that makes sense to anyone?! I waited for the attackers to head down my direction, tackled and got the ball, or was just a distraction. I think I was more of a distraction to be honest...
Tonight we have stick bread after dinner, then to the bar as Mark is leaving...more crappy Pilsner :-)

ps. Phil managed to change his flight to next Wednesday, so he can join me on a few dives next week...top news!
Pps. No spiders in my new room...result!
