I am posting Friday's episode of the podcast very early, on Monday, this week from Quito, Ecuador, because tomorrow we leave for the Galapagos Islands where there will be little if any Internet connection.

In this show you will hear two of our fellow Overseas Adventure Travel tour members talk about how they use their Kindles. Also, inspired music by a choir of disabled children at the Sinamune School in Quito, night sounds from a lagoon in the Amazon rain forest, our guide Juan's explanation of native healing and shamanistic traditions from his village, and initial impressions from Darlene, Deb, and me after our first week in Ecuador.
