More mysteries solved

The mysterious spot on my photos? No matter how much I cleaned my lens, it was still there. A huge deep breath and a lifted internal mirror later, I wiped a speck off my sensor. To those of you who don't know much about digital cameras: destroying the sensor, which is far too easy to do, would make the camera body useless, and probably cost me as much to fix as it would cost to buy a new one. Which is horrendous, but I digress. Did you know that digress can mean two things? It can mean to stop a tangent, or to start one. Um... the coast has been OK? Guayaquil's rather like Vancouver? I'm at a loss for things to say. Emily is dying less, though I've got a great shot of her walking back to the hostel carrying her IV bag aloft. Which I carried most of the way, but hey, that wouldn't have photographed as well. More to come when the net cafe isn't closing in 12 minutes and I've got pics, or am feeling more eloquent, or something.
