Long slow cocktail evening on the Galapagos–but my feet got tired, and the Internet beckoned.
Frank and I shared a beach with two physicists and three playful sea lions this afternoon. As we walked along the San Cristobal harbor, other sea lions yapped and frolicked among the little boats floating at anchor. Because the Galapagos had few pre-people predators, animals here are incredibly tame and friendly. I also played eye-tag with several of Darwin’s finches, but no blue-footed boobies or frigate birds. At least not yet…
My photos will take some time to upload at the glacial Internet speeds here. While you’re waiting, I recommend Jude’s amazing bumble bee on a soft lambs-ear flower.
