Things I Saw in the Galapagos
We frequently had to step over them.

For some reason, I'm craving turtle soup. Okay, that wasn't nice. The Galapagos tortoises were almost wiped out by sailors, who took them for fresh meat. A G.T. can live for a year with no water and no food, a pretty good deal in the days of no refrigeration.
Blue-footed booby with chick and egg.
A face only a mother could love -- marine iguanas.
Fur seals. Note how the face looks more like a bear than a dog. They are also smaller and lighter in color than a sea lion.
I'll post some more pictures later. Gotta get some work done now.
