Internet time here is very limited, and there’s no opportunity to post photos, of which I have many, but let me just say that, after 2.5 days, the islands have met and exceeded every expectation that a jaded old evolutionist would have. There are a gazillion things to see and do, much enhanced by the obliging employees at Lindblad, and the experience is limned by the extraordinarily tame animals. Though I haven’t knocked a hawk off of a tree with the barrel of my shotgun, as Darwin did, I’ve almost stepped on both sea lions and iguanas. The experience would be much poorer, I think, if it were not filtered for many of us through the lens of Darwin.
In the Galápagos

Have fun and watch out for the pirates.
Iguanas, Iguanas, Finches.
It’s more like: iguanas, iguanas, iguanas, finches.

If the Galápagos were near Minnesota, would that be, “Iguanas, iguanas, iguanas, gray iguanas”?
Have fun. Very beautiful place. I haven’t been there yet but some frieds told me about it.
I’d love so see some pics of the adorable iguanas!
