This afternoon we checked into Hotel Mainao in Puerta Ayora. It has a very whimsical architectural style, made of adobe painted white, with a Spanish tile roof. It meanders with various staircases, and all of the accents, from the patio floors to the domed roofs, are decorated with colorful ceramic tile mosaics. - IMG 8603

Sisa has many detailed stories to relay. She keeps the family enraptured for the 2 hour ride back to Morochos. - IMG 8672
While we were gone, Shina saw our Facebook post about snorkeling with penguins. So she drew this penguin to welcome Sisa home! - IMG 8675
Thank you note from Sisa for taking her to the Galapagos and filling her head with many new ideas, and a thank you note from Yupanqui for bringing his sister to the Galapagos.
