Galapagos

A blog post by Adam (pictures by Melissa). I wanted to opt for a cheap boat. Melissa did not. In the end she was right. Because we paid a little more, we had an amazing guide and perhaps even more importantly lots and lots and lots of gourmet food. Unfortunately we never took pictures of the food, but here are some photos of what we saw...

A land iguana, showing off its claws (North Seymour Island).
A male frigate bird attempts to impress with an inflated red chest (North Seymour).

Blue Footed Boobie (North Seymour)

Two marine iguanas stretch out, attempting to cool off under the brutal Galapagos sun (Fernandina Island).

A giant tortoise with it's mouth full (Santa Cruz Island). 

Posing on a "tunnel" - a rare volcanic formation over the ocean (Isabela Island)

A 20 day old baby tortoise next to a tortoise shell (from a breeding center on Isabela Island)
A flamingo spreads its wings (Isabela Island)
