Floreana, Galapagos - December 19, 2016
You probably know how I started my day. If you haven't
figured it out by now, it's my typical morning hike. We sailed to the island of
Floreana and stopped at our first destination. We visited the oldest post
office in Ecuador. It is no longer an official post office, but people try to
keep the tradition going. They write a post card and leave it in the barrel.
The following tourists check the post cards and destination and see if they can
deliver it. I wrote one as well and sent it to myself to see if I will ever
receive it. Who knows how long it will take. If you are up to it, write in the
comments what you think and I'll let you know who was the closest.
Straight from the Island's beach we went into snorkeling mode. We got to be
head to head with sea turtles. I was so close that if I even extended my arm a
little, they would scurry in fear. I just swam in place and admired. These
magnificent creatures were huge in size and graceful swimmers. There were also
many parrot fish surrounding them. These rainbow fish lighted up the ocean with
their neon colors. Seeing one is incredible, but seeing a group is
unforgettable!
Today didn't have too much action. We returned from snorkeling
and got in the hot tub with our hot chocolate. I am really liking that tradition.
Lol! We survived another great day in the Galapagos. Can't wait to see what
tomorrow will hold.
