i spoke too soon...

i know i said i wouldn´t be posting until after the galapagos but i just HAD to vent and rant.

so i´ve managed to get through six and a half week so of traveling - various treks, hikes, bike rides, etc - with virtually no injury. what happens this morning while i´m walking to the baños bus station to catch a bus to quito? i step off a curb and roll my left ankle. a COMPLETE roll - i was on the ground. kept my hiking boot on, hopped on the bus, tried to elevate it the best i could. got to the hotel, took my boot off and my ankle was SWOLLEN. hobble out to the pharmacy to get a tensor bandage. pop a couple anti-inflammatories. ice my ankle while watching tv. bandage it up and go hunting for crutches. yup, i´m going to the galapagos islands with a crutch. not impressed. however, i am thankful that it is near the end of my trip and that the galapagos tour isn´t super active but there is walking around involved. oh well, i guess it was too good to be true that i´d get through two months of traveling without any injury.

that´s all. =)
