So here we are! In Galapagos! Can you believe it? I´m sure amazed that our journey has taken us this far. Galapagos is amazing. It has beautiful teal-colored water and tons of wildlife. There are yellow, green, and black iguanas here. Also, stretch your arms out to your sides as far as they can go. That´s how big the 150 year-old tortises are! There are little green birds here and huge bugs. One thing I cant wait to see is the tiny peguins that live here.

Casey and I were so afraid to take showers off the back of our boat, which is in Academy Bay, all because of the sharks. But the wildlife here is amazing! We haven´t been swimming yet, but I imagine that under the water will be just as beautiful as above.

Isla Santa Cruz is really green and tropical and is home to a few hundred residents, who make their living from tourists like us. There is a developed town here, it is full of different shops selling t-shirts and tours to different Islands. Also, Charles Darwin is very popular here. For those of you who aren´t familiar with Charles Darwin, he was an English natularist that came to Galapagos a long time ago. He later published many writings about his theories on evolution and the nature of Galapagos. There is a whole park named after him.

Anyway, we are only allowed to stay here for twenty days, so we have to get going on some tours. After that we are off to the South Pacific!
