Paul called late last night to say he's arrived in Ecuador. The phone connection from 'apartmento moderno' wasn't great--the sound would go out or get static-y every minute or so. (I've also notice that a weird computer-y sound sometimes precedes the voice when someone phones me, like a computer or modem or something.) Anyway, two military guys sat behind him on the plane and talked the whole way. They were quite loud the last two hours. The connections in the airport were too tight for Paul to make duty free. That's a shame because he likes his scotch before bed.
