Galapagos day 3. Shayna here. Today was another incredible day in the Galapagos. We started the morning off by taking walk on a red sand island. Really, all the sand is red. Again, we saw maybe 20 sea lions, probably 50 iguanas all laying on top of each other and many more types of birds. Don't worry I took a lot of photos. After our walk, we sat on the red beach for about half an hour. I played in the water with a five year old friend that I made. After that, we took a glass bottom boat rode. Again, we could have gone deep water snorkeling but decided against it. We had much more fun sitting on a boat. We could see very well through the boat. The coolest thing we saw was a shark. The zodiac took us back to the boat and we did some more sleeping, eating, writing, and watching. After lunch we once again had the choice to do deep water snorkel or glass bottom boat. Hhhmmm tough decision. What decision do you think we made yep you're right. Another glass bottom boat ride. We saw parrot fish, angel fish, and even a giant sea turtle. When we got back to the boat, we only had about half an hour until our next island. We decided to just sit in the bar lounge and play cards. Our next activity a as a hike up 372 steps. It was VERY tiring but the view at the too was well worth it. The guides told us that it is the view on postcards. We were just so fast that we had some extra time at the end of the hike. We got on the zodiac and rode around looking for penguins. We found three! They were sooooo cute and only about three feet long. We came back to the boat and now I am sitting in the cabin writing this. It's a really nice room by the way. We have a lot of space. After this, we have a briefing about tomorrow's activities. Then dinner. After dinner there is a game of Galapagos jeopardy. Let's see how well we do! Until next time (or until we get internet) Shayna
