Galapagos Islands Vacation ! In August we were able to travel to the Galapagos Islands for a once in a lifetime adventure. We traveled with Natural Habitat Adventures on their Eastern itinerary on board the Nemo III catamaran luxury sailboat. Each day we traveled to a differnt Galapagos island where we hiked, snorkled and kayaked amongst the incredible wildlife where we learned about the ecosystem and animals from our incredible guides. Along the way we made new friends and enjoyed the spending time with them, the guides and the crew of the Nemo III.

The Brown Pelican. The elusive Galapagos Fur Seal - though they are called a 'Seal' they are actually a species of Sea Lion. They are found on the Western islands of the archipeligo and have longer hair than the other Seal Lions we have been encountering. A good example of the longer coat of the 'Fur Seal' One of the first birds we saw, the ever present Storm Petrel - here are two hunting off the stern of our boat.
