This is the weblog for Webb Pinner. A wondering soul and perpetual student who has self-knowingly fallen into one after another amazing situations and has now decided to start documenting it.
Have you ever wondered now people in the tropics celebrate Christmas, you know since it’s really hot, like Florida. Try to imagine that but also throw into the mix that your trapped on a boat, nowhere near land with a bunch of strangers. Now we’re talking yule tide cheer.
Birthdays have never been my sort of thing. I think it's because I have had some less than enjoyable ones in my past and because I really do not like surprises or being put on a stage. However, despite my predisposition towards the personal holiday I was quite surprised how this year's annual celebration came off.
The cruise has been interesting and worthy of more blog entries than I have given it but in this entry I'm going to focus on what happened just before we boarded the ship. Who would have thought adventures were to be had in mailing postcards?
This blog entry is about the day I had on December 11, 2005. It was one of those days you wish you could have everyday. This entry was adapted from an email I sent Cassandra. I was so sad that she couldn't be here.
You know those people who work in a basement office with no windows and florescent lighting? I'm not one of those people. For myself and a few other fortunate souls, we make our living spending most of the in an office doing paperwork but also spend a few weeks/months traveling across the globe assisting oceanographic research.
So I guess it's time to introduce my fellow travelers. This is just the preliminary list as there will be many more additions by the time everyone's one the boat.
So in this our first full day in the Galapagos, the motley crew voted for a beach day. The locals were kind enough to point us towards a place called Tortuga Bay, a mile-long beach, off to it's own, just to the west of the town.
