Boobies are Cool!

Galapagos Islands Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

I'm taking my wanderlust to a new level by shedding everything familiar and safe and hitting the road with a one way ticket and lots of guts. I start in Ireland, with planned stops in E. Europe before arriving in Egypt, then onto Tanzania for a Mt. Kili climb/safari before arriving in Zanzibar. From there, S. Africa, India, SE Asia, Australia/NZ, and eventually S. America. Afterward skidding home on fumes of glory, whereupon I will quickly be couch-surfing until I can land on my feet again.

Boobies are Cool!

The Blue-footed Boobie of the Galapagos
This is the most amazing place on earth - a cross between Jurassic Park and Disneyland.  I got to swim with sea lions and just yesterday, I held a puffer fish!  I wanted to do a cartwheel in the water I was so excited.  I also saw about six white tail sharks and three sea turtles! This was just in the water during two snorkeling sessions.  On land, so much more. I´m still on the islands after having finished my organized tour.  Now I´ve got a few days to kick around on my own.  I´ll post pics and write about my experience in more detail later when I get back to the mainland as internet is so expensive and slow here.  By the way, boobies are aquatic birds.  My favorite are the blue-footed ones.  I can´t get over the wildlife here.
