(no subject)
Because I have a rediculous number of pictures from the Galapagos, I'll separate them into pictures from San Cristobal (the first island we stayed on), Santa Cruz (the cruise ship), and Santa Cruz (the second island we stayed on).
San Cristobal
Overhead view of the place where we went snorkling with the sea lions.
Group shot: (left to right) Stephen Temple, Desta, Dave, Bram, Kerry, Chaz, Alex
Sea Lion Posing
Giant Tortoise
Mode of transportation around the island: Riding in the back of pickup trucks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Cruise
The ship (The Santa Cruz). During the filming of the movie 'Master and Commander: Far Side of the World', several crew and cast members chose to stay aboard this very ship during the filming that occured in the Galapagos. Trust me, on the inside it was much nicer than it looks from the outside.
Emergency drill. Like the life preservers?
Group Shot in the lobby of the ship: Desta, Kerry, Matt, Ann, Dave
"Look! I'm... I'm flying Jack! I'm flying!!!"

Land Iguana at the Charles Darwin Research Center
Lonesome George, at the Charles Darwin Research Station. He's more than 400 years old and the last of his species.
Giant Tortoise!!!
Going down into the lava flow cave
Inside the cave. Caves such as this one were formed when the outside of flowing lava cooled and hardened while the hot inner lava continued to flow, leaving the hollow outer shell as a cave.
