Since we left home in October, we’ve had multiple experiences in which we’ve gotten to see some pretty cool animals: penguins, whales, dolphins, monkeys, llamas, alpacas, lizards, snakes, bugs, and much of what falls in between.
But I can pretty much guarantee that not one of those experiences can hold a candle to the animal encounters we’re having right now. Yes, that’s right, we’re currently in the Galapagos. For eight days, we will live aboard the Nemo II, a catamaran that will carry us to many of the Galapagos islands. In the process, we will get up close and personal with sea lions, swim with penguins, watch marine iguanas dive for food, witness the saga of Lonesome George, take note of the finches that helped Darwin formulate the theory of evolution, and photograph the beloved blue-footed booby. Expect plenty of pictures and stories when we return. This week, however, enjoy some posts about our recent adventures in Ecuador as well as a throwback post to Peru.
You said booby! But not just any booby, but beloved booby. BLUE FOOTED BOOBY! Make sure you get an awesome picture of some boobies. Don’t leave until you have!
Ahhhhhh, TOP of my list! Can’t wait to see all your pictures!
Happy Super Bowl Day! I am so excited to see your photos since I have wanted to go to the Galapagos since I was a kid. Have so much fun that I get to share in it.
That is my ultimate dream destination. I cannot wait to see your photos!
Take lots of photos and more importantly post lots of photos. I’ve always wanted to go there.
What a life! Have tons of fun (and of course, take tons of pics)
