Galapagos and Amazon- Birds, Tortoises and Iguanas

Want to go? Galapagos Multisport, Sacha Lodge

I went to: Ecuador, Quito, Galapagos, San Cristobal, Isabela, Santa Cruz Island, Sacha Lodge
We are the first shoppers at the weekly Quito market.Another wonderful meal at the end of the day. I really dont want to come out of my shell. Kristin and Robin kayaking at sunset. We are high above the canopy looking for toucans and more. It is so scary to look up- but I did it!! A Blue Footed Booby- I cant believe the feet are so blue! The only marine iguana- that is salt on their heads. Sacha Lodge looks like a tree house. Michael is studying the many trails available for walking.
