We are all really enjoying the Galapagos, in fact it is becoming our favorite island to date. Every time we go ashore we watch the sea lions lying around lazily on the benches and walk ways without a care in the world. Yesterday when we went in there was two large rays right at the dock. One surfaced and was just floating along. The wildlife here is not hunted or harassed so there is no fear of humans. The sea lions seem to feel they own the place. One chased us down the dock the other day. Zack loved it, he has been really enjoying the animals and we watch for them under our boat every morning.

We went boogie boarding yesterday afternoon at the surf beach. There were a few Galapagos "surf dudes" out there and it was fun to watch them catch waves. We had a great time boogie boarding in the biggest waves we have ridden yet. It was one great ride after another. David and I took turns on Zack's spare board. Zack was glowing he was having such a great time. After 2 hours we were all pretty wiped out so back to town for a shower. Isabella has public showers, they are not great but free water is better than making your own and it is great just to stand under the water for 5 minutes and not have to worry about wasting each drop.

We have been frequenting one of the 3 bakeries here. The lady who owns it is really nice and very friendly. The baked goods are ok, mostly white flour. We have not found a "healthy" bakery anywhere in Latin America, or for that matter much vegetarian foods. Zack is liking the Dulce de Leche rolls. It is amazing how inexpensive the bakery is. Nothing seems to be more than a dollar. I'm not sure if the sub rolls are 2 or 4 for a dollar. We went out for pizza the other night, it was quite expensive but it was good. The prices here are strange, things geared more towards locals are very cheap and products geared towards tourists are very high, but not as high as St. John. We always say it is difficult to sticker shock a St. Johnian. David also reported that the hardware store is very well stocked and inexpensive for anyone following us who may need supplies.
