July 18 Galapagos

We had sun this morning with clear skies. Hiked up to the top of one of the small islets,the view was amazing. Photos will not do it justice. Then snorkeling with lots of fish and a penguin, swimming right along side of me! Some people saw sharks, missed them. In the afternoon, we went to another beach, but we just hung out then took a long walk over a lava flow. The naturalists on board are wonderful at describing things. Our guide this afternoon was born and raised here, so he has a lot of stories to tell. We have met a lot of people from all over the world. This is the best!
