GALAPAGOS ISLANDS!

Okay so I am currently working on a project about THE VOLCANO I HIKED YESTERDAY (ill post pictures of that tomorrow) so this will be a short update! Pictures tell more than words, right? So anyways, the Galapagos was absolutely amazing. Every single day we traveled to a new island and did fun activities. We also seemed to do some sort of activity involving turtles every day as well. I've never seen so many turtles in my life haha. The Galapagos was absolutely beautiful, pure and full of wild life! Yay for lots of pictures!

Super old giant turtle! He was about 100 years old

We walked through a cave created by lava! 

Picture of all the islands

We had a 1 hour hike to Tortuga Bay (beach) and on the way, there were tons of these cactus alien trees. 

La playa. It was insane! After swimming, we were walking back to shore and there was a sting ray swimming by us! I was a little frightened. 

These crabs were preeetty large

My friend Kyle hanging out with a sea lion haha. Typical day

You can't really tell, but there are blue footed boobies!

Marine Iguana. I am so happy when we snorkeled there were none of those. The iguanas get HUGE and look terrifying.

Sharks! I was a little concerned since we were about to go snorkeling in a place nearby. When we asked the guide what to do if we see a shark, he said "swim away calmly." Oh Ecuador.

Tons of baby iguanas! I am making peace to them because when I first when near them to take a picture, a few spit at me. I later found out though thats how they get rid of the salt water in their body after swimming, they just sit and spit.

LOBO MARINO!!

Giant marine iguana! 

Snorkeling was a blast! We snorkeled with sea turtles and sea lions. One sea lion stayed with our group and we played with him for a while. It was amazing. But I will admit, when I was swimming and a sea lion randomly popped in my face, I somewhat panicked and screamed haha. 

I found this to be really interesting. Building this wall was a punishment for the worst criminals in the Galapagos. Many died and are supposedly their bones are within the wall. Que loco! 

One day, we went on a FIVE HOUR HIKE (it was brutal) The first two hours it was really foggy and we couldnt see anything. 

But then it finally cleared up and we got to look at all the volcanos and volcanic rock!

In our last hotel I had a king sized bed! It was super cool. I slept sideways because I could.

One of the boats we rode on we were able to climb to the third level and look down at the ocean. We saw dolphins, turtles, sea lions and A HAMMER HEAD SHARK!!

Poor lonesome George. Last of his kind. He is supposed to live another 80 years though so thats good. Although he has been living with females for a long time, he just doesn't have any interest to reproduce with them. Poor guy.

So, that was my trip! SUPER CHEVERE! I will post tomorrow about the volcano and SNOW!
