Milking the Possibilities

Friday 18 April 2014
After desayuno at Miconia Restaurant, trekked with friends from S/V Evenstar (B.J., Kathy and progeny Will & Danielle, precocious at 16 & 13 respectively) to Park Interpretive Center for a dollop of Galapagos history and around the nature walk past Las Tijeretas and Playa Punta Carola for sealions (duh!), lizards, marine iguanas, really large brown pelicans, blue-footed boobies and what flora survives the less than hospitable soil (it's volcanic you know). Highlight was indulgence in milkshakes at a lovely little cafe on the walk back.. is that sad or what?
Returned to boat for second peak of excitement today. Jan separated recyclables and other crew epoxied floor grate that had collapsed. We're easily amused.
Tomorrow is highly recommended "highlands tour" to include tiptoeing through a volcano (moribund) and snorkeling with iguanas, seals, turtles and various other aquatic denizens (so we have been told). Scheduled start is 0900, but we go in early because: fresh market may end before we return and clean skivvy supply has decreased to concerning levels. Hoping lavanderia, closed today and Sunday for sure, is open Easter Saturday.
