Last Day In Ecuador
We get underway for Peru at 9 AM on Tuesday. We've had a successful visit to Ecuador. From my perspective, with the GATR antenna, that is especially true. I've been able to get online every day here, except the first day. The first day the problem was a technical issue outside of my control.
It surprised me how much I miss Ecuador, and I didn't expect that. I only got away from the ship once, last evening. I have been wanting some ceviche de camaron, and got my wish last night.
There are photos at our Gallery on this site. Also a Navy News story you can read.
Tonight we are providing Internet for everyone on the ship. If people get out their laptop, they can use the GATR antenna to go online. The ship Internet connection is very slow, and you are limited to what you can do, so people are very, very happy to have the opportunity to use this non-military Internet connection. Just being able to chat or check their Gmail account means so much to them. Some of the people are on this ship for four months, and they only have two or three liberty ports.
