WATCHED A NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PROGRAM ON THE GALAPAGOS LAST NIGHT AND BROUGHT BACK SO MANY FUN MEMORIES OF MY TRIP TO ECUADOR AND THE ISLANDS OF THE GALAPAGOS........
LOVED ECUADOR AND THE GENTLE PEOPLE.....THEIR BRIGHT CLOTHES, FUN MUSIC AND INTERESTING FOODS.....WELL I NEVER ATE THE LITTLE GUINEA PIG THAT IS THEIR SPECIALTY.....AND PETS. BUT, I LOVED STANDING ON THE EQUATOR AND SHAKING HANDS WITH ANN ON THE OTHER SIDE....OR STANDING WITH ONE FOOT IN ONCE HEMISPHERE AND THE OTHER FOOT IN ANOTHER! VISITED THE WONDERFUL ANDIES MTS A FEW DAYS AND FLEW HOME PAST MANY VOLCANOS.
THEN WE FLEW TO THE GALAPOGAS TO FINISH OUR TRIP.....FIVE DAYS VISITING A NEW ISLAND EACH DAY....VISITING DARWIN'S MUSEUM AND THE OLDEST TURTLE AT THAT TIME ....DARWIN VISITED THE ISLANDS IN 1875 WHEN HE WAS 26 AND SPENT 6 WEEKS STUDYING THE BIRDS AND ANIMALS THERE. HE STEPPED OVER BLUE FOOTED BOOBIES AND AGUANIAS......AS I DID. ENJOYED THE SEALS AND SEA LIONS WHICH WERE VERY FRIENDLY.... WE ADDRESSED A COUPLE OF POST CARDS AND LEFT ON ONE ISLAND FOR THE NEXT GROUP THAT PASSED BY....THEY EACH TOOK A COUPLE AND WHEN THEY GOT HOME MAILED THEM BACK TO US.....AND WE TOOK A COUPLE TO MAIL BACK WHEN WE GOT HOME LEFT BY HE PREVIOUS GROUP OF TOURIST......THE FIRST MAIL SERVICE WHEN SHIPS PASSED BY. THESE ISLANDS WERE FORMED BY VOLCANOS MANY YEARS AGO......A WONDERFUL TRIP.
