The Galapagos, Isla Santa Cruz


How I felt on our first day in the Galapagos was sort of captured by this picture of the Sea Lions, or Lobos Del Mar as the locals call them, lounging on the back of this boat. I saw that and knew we were going to have a great trip. I don't know what it was. The laid-back accessibility of these animals is just endearing and amazing.

You can see the fishermen here cleaning their fish. The Frigate birds are scavenging from above because they can't get wet. The pelicans are surrounding the boat. It felt like a Hitchcock film.




We ended the day by hiking to Las Grietas, a beautiful spot where you can swim and jump off the rocks.
