Hi everyone! Rebecca here writing from the airplane as we are headed to Lima, Peru. We have had such a packed week in the Galapagos! We saw everything from blue footed boobies to iguanas to a group of dolphins. In all, it was quite spectuacular. I believe Shayna has already written for most of the days, so I will fill you on yesterday. We got up and got ready for a hike and zodiac ride. Once we arrived on the island where we were hiking, we had to climb up about 20 steep steps to get to the path. Once on the path, we saw some amazing birds! We found red footed boobies, which are much rarer to see than the blue footed ones. We saw a bunch of little baby boobies and I learned how to take panorama shots. You will be seeing a lot of panorama shots in the future. I am now kind of in love with that setting. After we finished the hike we rode around a bit in the zodiac. Then we headed back to the boat for lunch and rest time. Okay, here comes the best part: snorkeling! Except not really because I didn't exactly snorkel, just swam around a bit with the mask but not the mouth tube thing. It was too hard to learn to breathe that way, so I just held my breath. We swam so far onto the rocks my mom, on the shore, got worried and almost sent out a rescue boat. But she didn't, so it was cool. We saw a TON of fish, no turtles unfortunately :(, and I saw these three HUGE pink and blue florescent fish. It was awesome! When I got back, our new five year old friend hugged me and kept repeating, "I missed you! I missed you!" I think she was worried about us too. But we had a great time. It was one of my best experiences on the trip so far. I believe Shayna has some underwater pictures too. We got back, played cards, ate dinner, and I went to bed early. It had been an exhausting day! Today we visited a giant tortoise reserve. The tortoises are seriously huge! I guess that's why they call them giant tortoises. We also got to see some adorable baby tortoises. More panorama shots for me, and now we are on the airplane. It has been a great two days. I can't wait for Peru! Till next time, Rebecca <3
