Photo Update - The Best of the Galapagos-Part 1

For the first time since Panama, being in Tahiti has given us access to internet fast enough to upload pictures!  So I thought I would make the most of it, and do some photo update posts, to share some of our experiences through the eye of the camera lens.  I'll start with the Galapagos Islands:
The Cool Runnings crew stop at a tiny restaurant on the way back from Puerto Chino, San Cristobal, Galapagos.  This is also where we bought that beautiful bunch of bananas for $2!

Gaby makes friends with a sandy seal - Puerto Chino



Time for haircuts!!  San Cristobal, Galapagos, June 2016
Darwin's finch:  This little fellow was sitting on our boat

The seals were EVERYWHERE!  Here a baby lies with its mom, while another plays in the water behind them

And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere:



Then of course, we had the marine iguanas.  Charles Darwin found them so hideous, he called them "Imps of Darkness".  I actually thought they were so ugly they were cute!







Speaking of Darwin, Gaby and Ben meet with the man himself:




Well, that doesn't seem like many pictures, but my connection seems to be giving me trouble, and I am unable to upload any more tonight.  So, consider this Part 1, more to come!  Enjoy!
