Ecuador

Darren never found the perfect story to write about The Galapagos. We had a great time, but nothing hit him as funny enough to write about. In every other place, he was immediately hit with a brilliant idea, like the meat comparison charts in Namibia, or deciphering the Rongorongo hieroglyphic script in Easter Island. Most of his stories were written at night. We'd often stay in tiny places so he'd have to sit in bed with his laptop and he'd write well into the early morning hours. He'd wake me up with his chuckling, shaking the bed, and when I looked over at him he'd say, "This is so damn funny".

So while we don't have a story from Darren, I think the picture below captures Darren at his best in the Galapagos.
