Busy, busy day getting ready to go for our five-day tour of the islands. I will not be able to send e-mails while on the cruise, so there will not be another log entry until Friday, March 31. Our agent here, Johnny Romero, would say, “No worries.” You won’t hear from us, but we will be fine.
Heather and Jed had a great day today exploring Tortuga Bay. They walked further than Mark and I were able to do, and made it to the lagoon. They saw many marine iguanas, Darwin finches who sat with them and begged for their lunch, and much, much more. I think the Galapagos are becoming more than hot, flat, and a lot like home for them. These were not called the Enchanted Isles for no reason.
We will have a full report when we return from our tour. Until then, we send our best to all.
