Our dear friend Mukul from India has wanted to visit our compadres in Ecuador, and, being an avid birder, has also wanted to visit the Galapagos. We decided that it would be a good opportunity to take our 10-year old goddaughter Sisa on a trip as well. We made plans so that Mukul would spend a couple of days sightseeing in Quito and Mindo, and then meet us in Morochos for a few days with the family. Then the three of us would take Sisa to the Galapagos for a few days.
