Sunrise to Sunset

Sunrise at Tortuga Bay to a sunset journal on the Puerto Ayora pier. 

Just arrived at the Quito airport. Waiting for our early morning flight :)

Paddling With Penguins

A fun morning kayaking and snorkeling with penguins and sea lions. This is the only place in the world you can see penguins and cacti living together! Heading to Campo Duro in the highlands this afternoon. We will likely not have service until we return to the coast on Monday. We will post again as soon as we have a connection. Pictured below: tea party paddle break and cards in the shade

Happy Snorkelers :)

Unbelievable. Snorkeling. Sea turtles, penguins, marbled ray, sea stars, marine iguanas, blowfish, parrotfish, damsel fish...

Manic Monday :)

This waited around in cyber space for a couple days. Service is better now...see below for Monday's post.

Santa Cruz to Isabela

We've gone from observing giant tortoises to snorkeling with penguins...exploring the highlands of Santa Cruz to the white sands of Isabela.

Sunrise to sunset!

We've had a couple busy days on Santa Cruz. All is well :) The cell service is spotty. Will send some pictures as soon as the signal is stronger.

Good Morning :)

Sunrise on Santa Cruz at Cerro Mesa! Service is a bit spotty. More pictures to come when we have a better signal.

Planes, ferries and busses

After a morning in Quito, a flight to Baltra, a ferry to Santa Cruz, and another bus to Puerto Ayora, we walked to the pier by our hotel and saw black tipped sharks, golden rays, pelicans, blowfish, a sea turtle and sea lions. Then topped the night off with ice cream. What a great day!

A few reminders and notes for tomorrow's (YAY!) departure:

1. Please be at CVU at 4:45 am.  The bus will depart at 5:00 am.

2. Bring a pencil. Choose one that you love...but not so much that it is too special to go on our adventure. A mechanical pencil is great because you don't need to sharpen. That said, be sure that you fill it before we go!
