Monday afternoon we went for a hike at Punta Pitt, on Isla San Cristóbal.

Monday evening, we dropped anchor back in the harbor near the airport.

Monday, while we were sleeping, our boat navigated to Isla Española.

This was my second night ever sleeping on a boat. And it’s seriously difficult to sleep while navigating through choppy water.

On Isla Española, we went for another hike.

After our hike, we went snorkeling, and then for a stroll along the beach at Gardner Bay.

[Hopefully the image quality is ok. I’m using an app on my iPhone to make them smaller to upload.]

Tomorrow we’ll be arriving at Floreana Island.

Our first afternoon on the boat, we cruised over to see Kicker Rock.

Today is our first full day on the boat.

This morning, we took the pangas over to Cerro Brujo. I saw my first blue-footed booby, but didn’t get a good photo.

This afternoon, we’re going on our first hike, at Punta Pitt.

Hoy, pasamos el dia en Quito. Hablé español con muchas personas diferentes y aprendí que necesito practicar más el español.

We did a lot of walking today, and visited some churches and museums.

First, we went to the Basílica del Voto Nacional.

And then we walked to Plaza de la Independencia, Iglesia La Compañía (which was hard to find and they didn’t allow photos), La Iglesia de San Francisco (also no photos allowed), and to Casa Del Alabado, a museum of Pre-Columbian art.

We finished off our day with wine and dinner at La Vid, over looking Plaza de la Independencia.

Tomorrow, we’re off for the rest of our adventure!
