The Galapagos part II

More pics.  Completely out of order so have patience.

Seal..they look really different from sealions, which i never knew

Brett managed to find 2 separate pairs of grasshoppers doing it...eagle eye cherry.

Our boat again

Red-footed boobie and her egg

Our last dinner on the boat..the guy on the right was our naturalist guide, Esteban.  He was only 20 but knew so much about the islands and the animals.  He was a dead ringer for my cousin, omar.

Lucky for me, they didn't have a short suit in my size so i got a full body.  Totally necessary...the water was freezing!

Nazca boobie

Frigate and a baby

Blue-footed boobies

Male frigate showing off his stuff

Red-footed boobie

This cactus was very interesting..it was flat and looked like a stage prop

Baby tortoises

Sally lightfoot crab

Eyeballing our guide..he would have to clap his hands and hit a stick on the ground so that they would move.  They were not pleased.

Baby boobie

Marine iguana

Albatross - true to The Rescuers, our guide told us that they have to jump cliffs to be able to fly and they are awful at landing
