Cruising the Galapagos: "I love Boobies"

We had a great time on our cruise!! and are back on land, but still in the Galapagos until Tuesday, then onto Quito. Here are a bunch of photos depicting a day on our cruise and showing most of the interesting animals we saw! Enjoy
...and by Boobies I mean blue footed boobies, a very colorfully footed bird on the islands


Sleeping in our cabin

Sunrise off the boat


Sea lions playing around

Land Iguanas

The scary male sea lion and some babies

Me attempting to get the sea lions to play with me

The coolest cactus I've ever seen

A bird (I don't remember what kind) and a lava lizard

Curios mocking birds

Dancing blue footed Boobies

Land iguanas

Galapagos Hawk

Rainbow

Albatross

In a lava cave

Beach with my sis

Land tortoise

Sending mail the sailors' way (I'm bringing 2 cards to hand deliver)

If I were a turtle...sort of reminds me of you Kris ;-)

Nap time

Mother and baby sea lion shortly after a birth


Penguin

Nice view from our last island...windy much?

Same view but a bit higher up

Mother sea lion nursing her baby

Sea lion that just gave birth! the baby is by her head

Baby heron, what a neck

Male sea lion on red beach...I'm too lazy to rotate it

Blue footed boobies on their nest

Male Friggot, his red balloon neck in all puffed up for mating season

So ends a great day on the Galapagos
