Day 11, updates and more pictures

Two more days before another treacherous boat ride back to the Baltra (Galapagos) airport. The last trip, 8 days ago had half our group puking up their breakfasts. Hopefully the trip back will be less eventful. Thanks to Geeta Rajpal for the anti-nasauea meds--they really helped me. I'm thinking of selling them for $30 a pop on the way back.  ;)

Liam has decided that he wants to move here (the beach on Isabela specifically). Livy has made a lifelong friend and has invited her to come spend a month with us in the spring. Can't ask for anything more. And now for some pictures from our daily life the past two weeks.

Our favorite breakfast place—they even advertise that they have a coffee maker! 
This is definitely not a breakfast-eating cultural. 
There are a couple of pastry/cake shops and basically one restaurant. This is the best!

This is where we've been snorkeling nearly everyday. In the background you can see the Isla de Tortuga, a U-shaped volcanic island about 20 minutes away by boat. 

The cruise ships hit the coast in the last two days. Yesterday there were three and today there are five.

Bird tracks in the sand.

Just thought these were cool patterns in the sand near a little inlet at low tide.

I have no idea what this is, but the next few pictures are close-ups. 
I'm trying to find a book to identify them.

Close-up shot of the same thing.

This is the largest of the groupings.

There seem to be little plant-like things sticking out of this bunch.

This is the prettiest of all the pictures of these strange plants/animals.
