Today started off pretty slow because the data that were organizing needs to be on both our computers now that the server is down. Transferring 80gb of random stuff on slow computers took our entire morning...So I chowed on candy and finished reading Bill Bryson's, The History of Everything. Joe works in the office right above mine so as lunch rolled around we both look at each other in dire need to relieve some energy. Off to the beach for some lunch break snorkeling. However it was high tide, which here means silty/murky water and maybe 15 feet deeper than normal...Didn't see much but it was a great mini work out before going back to work. 
Then as we were getting back to it, Joel came running in and said we are now official....our uniforms were ready. So we bolted over to the office to rock our new work tees. Ended up being able to get a fair amount of things done in the after noon. Although I was constantly refreshing my email to stay entertained :)
After work we had a futbol match set up with Chema, people who work at the station, and some other guys that work at the National Park. Not expecting to much we ended up playing on this picture perfect South American street ball field complete with mini goals and a tortoise painted in the middle. A great game of 4v4 grew into an awesome match of 7v7. As it got dark they even had lights...Oddly enough it was tucked away as their employee parking lot for the Galapagos National Park.  |

We ended up playing for 2 hours so by then I biked into town and chatted it up with Rachel for a bit was was super nice. Quick took a shower back at the bungalo and wandered off to town to find Joe and Rob who were wandering as aimlessly as I was. We grabbed some beer and ended up watching the Argentina Ecuador match over by the dinner street. Not realizing what time it was we stayed up the latest since we've got here...midnight...haha don't judge, sweating all day takes the wind out of you.
