The Galapagos Islands

With this entry, I'm going to try a different approach. More pictures and less words. Let's see how it goes.


With the rents enjoying the sun (obviously not in Quito) and the view. The islands were absolutely gorgeous.

You can see our ship the Santa Cruz on the left in the background. It was a large ship with 85 passengers. We think it was too large, but at least we didn't get sea sick.

Strutting its stuff.



Cool. It was hard not to feel like you were in a zoo.



Boobies!!!!!!!!!!!! And they have blue feet!




With some friends from the boat on the day of the turtles.



These guys are enormous. No one knows how long they actually live, but Darwin's turtle just died. That's right, the same Darwin who wrote about evolution sent an adult turtle back to England and then Australia (?). So at least 170 years old.



Our ship. Definitely NOT sexy.
