Galapagos

Hey all, i have a few moments to blog from the galapagos islands. Ive been in a boat the whole time but today we have stopped in town to pick up some more people. The boat is small, holds 14 tourists plus the crew. I have a private room and my own washroom on the second level. It gets very rocky at night when we are sailing, but i haven't experienced any sea sickness. The experience has been amazing so far...im going to try to list a the things ive seen over the last couple of days: marine iguanas, land iguanas, hybrid iguanas, sea lions (and many cute sea lion pups including a very rare albino), reef sharks, sea cucumbers, sting rays, sea turtles, giant tortoises, fish fish fish and more tropical fish, pink flamingos, blue footed boobies, and many other species of birds. The great thing is that all these animals are tame...so ive been able to get some really close up pictures just using my 50mm lens. We also did a short hike to the top of St. Bartoleme (the best island IMHO) which is the highest point in the islands giving you a nice view of the archipelago.
