- We traveled to mainland Ecuador (that's another story) and onto the Galapagos Islands. We landed in Baltra, took a ferry to Santa Cruz and cruised to Espanola, Floreana and North Seymour.
- D and I are finally certified open water divers! Our dive instructor, Vicente, was amazing. He definitely pushed us to the limit. One of our first few dives were at the maximum we can ever do - 60 feet! The best part was the last (of the 4) dives - we went under thousands of fish hovering around, while sea lions played with us. It was unreal.
- We finally met Lonesome George - although he was very shy.
- We took tons of photos of sea lions, blue-footed boobies, frigate birds, crabs, sea turtles, giant tortoises and all other creatures that can only be found in the Galapagos. They are not scared of humans, which was refreshing.
- Since we were right on the ecuator, at night, when we looked at the stars, we saw the North Star and the Southern Cross.
