Nathan!

Nathan came yesterday! :) :)

It is so surreal seeing him here in the Galapagos. I could barely kiss him, I had to keep pushing him away to make sure it was him and not some typical Ecuadorian homeboy. Ahhh! He's here!!

I saw him right when he got off the plane - for one thing, the airports in the islands have to walls. And another - he's so white he was blinding everyone. so cute.

Enough of my gushing - we got here and he immediately (and obviously) befriended everyone in the program and even some islanders. I have to go to my class because it is for my major and missing one class is like missing two weeks of class at Emmanuel. Anyway, i got out of class and walked across the street to the beach and Nate is playing frisbee with some Ecuadorians. So we all got a game of ultimate frisbee (Galapagos style in terms of the rules - "nuestra!") and played until the sun set. We went to dinner and I made him try ceviche - a weird sounding yet delicious 'soup' - it is served cold, usually with seafood and mixed with fresh veggies and served with banana chips. mmm. Then we drank with the locals on the pier and went to one of two bars here on the islands. Ahh :) A fun first day.
