Tom is feeling better

Almost fogot to mention this, so far has the issue receded from my mind: Tom has figured out that it was simply a nagging case of motion sickness, and has had a lot of success with easy remedies. Feeling much better now, and looking forward to the rest of the trip! (I once had motion sickness for three days after a 24-hour ferry ride, followed by intermittent train travel. No fun.) Other than that apparently resolved issue, all are happy and healthy! Including Quinn, who ran - the boy RAN - up endless flights of stairs in mountainous Old Quito while the rest of us huffed and heaved in the altitude. To his credit, there was no taunting.
