Day 3 takes us to the island of Espanola, the island of the marine iguanas.
Of course there are sea lions everywhere. This pup's mom is out hunting.
The Galapagos mockingbird.
As with all the wildlife, you can get very close.
The Sally Lightfoot crab.
Here's one with a little different coloration.
The small ground finch. Actual size about two inches tall.
There are 477 birds in this picture. Can you find them all?
Byron was our naturalist. Gabriel the tour guide is in the foreground.
Our new heroine. This is Lucille from South Carolina. Would that we are so fit and active and vital at 84 (oops, don't tell her I put her age on the web site).
A rare sighting of the weaved albatross.
The blowhole (la bufadora). We have now seen blowholes in Ensenada, Australia, and the Galapagos.
Some last shots of the blue-footed boobie.
A red-footed boobie learning to fly.
The blue-footed boobie.
In the afternoon we went off to the Darwin center.
Exhibit #1 for evolution. On the islands where there are tortoises or other animals that eat the cactus, the prickly pear cactus grows as a tree. Where there are no such animals, it continues to grow as a shrub.
Columbian TV was there doing a documentary on the Galapagos.
Wade with a starring role. It must have been the hat.
One of the types of land iguanas.
This is Lonesome George, the last living member of his species.
So Kimberly can write off the trip, we took this picture of a boat.
Back on the ship.
This is the dining hall with the buffet station in the center.
