Hey, hi! Welcome to the... yeah, I don't know if I'm different. I did something quasi-adventurous, though. I went snorkeling! So, we go to a different island each day. I saw more wildlife in those three days than I've seen in my entire life. It was crazy! I mean, the animals, they don't give a... like, super, super close to them, you know?

I should ask Louie: "Caesar, translator: poquito de patatas, foolís, Tortuga, Galapagos, Pinguino." Gallop again! You do you, honest, which is the same word, right? Lobo Moreno, that's pretty much it. They asked me what I knew about Galapagos before I came here, and really, I knew very very little, basically nothing.

Did you read that book at all? I did! I read the Darwin Road. Giant tortoise while he was there, and he also married his cousin! What do you think I should do with the footage? Like, how do you think I should edit all this stuff I got together?

But maybe like cute animals, some nice music, some people? Did you meet some cool people at the market and stuff? Yeah! Listen, we wanted to relay here at the city, not keep with a key. There's a lot of us. This one, like, eight-year-old said that he could do a thousand kick-ups. That's so cute!

Any ideas for an ending? Oh, like a sunset! Like a magical sunset! Do you have one of those? I think I got one of those. One thing I noticed is that it's just real easy there to forget that to the outside world even exists. I don't know, does that make sense?

Yeah, it's like a whole new Andrew Norton. So you think the video is gonna turn out okay? Nice feel to it? Well, let's hope I don't. But I'm glad you're an adventurer! Well, I'll see you in a couple days.
