We ate food while we were in Quito. Well, that and we saw a cloud forest, but the food was the best part. Those other guys would be the rest of the class.

The ship that I lived on for a week while we were island hopping. A bit small, but sufficient.

You might be able to tell what my favorite animals in the Galapagos were.

If I wasn't menaced by fine and/or imprisonment, I'd have obliged this cute little guy and given him a rub.

Bah, these pictures are out of order. Regardless, here we are on Isla Lobos, and I'm with a booby. Guess which is which.

Another booby. Although this guy wasn't, many of them were doing their mating dance, which sounds oddly like a Revenger pen.

Another little bugger begging for a petting. Stupid conservationists with their stupid laws...

This is me with our guide in the Galapagos. The guy started calling me Darwin halfway through the trip (a) due to the Darwin shirt (which I was wearing in the picture) and (b) due to the facial hair (which I was also wearing),

This is Drs. Galizio and Bruce, the professors who took us on the trip. This was their third or so trip, so they were really knowledgable.

Melissa and Eevie (sp?) two really nice girls I met on the trip. Haven't been able to get together with them since then, which if a real shame. They were a lot of fun.

One of many starfish. We saw this guy on one of our many snorkeling excursions (this may have even been the one where I lost my snorkel).

Land Iguana at the Darwin Research Station. These guys were all over the place, not sure why they needed to put one in a walled area for display purposes.

Again, me beside a Tortoise at the Darwin Station. Guess which one is me.

Interesting geological formation we saw on our way to Puerto Ayora. I'd seen this before in the profs' video, but they had sailed through it. I was hoping we would, too, but we didn't. Probably too narrow for this boat...

An egret standing on the shore of Puerto Ayora. I saw a couple of these guys (maybe the same guy) standing in a crowd of peeople the next day. Really used to people.

This would be me on my first trip into a bar. I told the professors that, and they got kind of nervous. Like I'd tell on them...

A tortoise eating in the wild. We saw these guys just standing around, minding their own business. Meanwhile, I was trying not to be eaten by bugs.

A frigate bird tending its nest (or what I'm fairly sure is its nest). These guys aren't half as pretty as the males, which had red throat sacs, which they inflated to attract mates.

The sea lions would swim with us when we got close enough to their territory. Then, the males would swim at us to try and get us to leave. Real friendly, those male sea lions.
