Post memories from Galapagos




A few more pics, and a few more memories! One of our favorite activities was bird touching. Although this is pretty self explanatory, it is certainly not easy. the birds keep up with the boat, and occasionally come close enough to reach up and touch. We spent countless hours on the top of the ship reaching for the plumage of our avian friends. Whenever one would come within distance, one simply screams, "Touch that Bird" and lunges dramatically for the tactile contact. I retired from this sport, the only successful participant. I touched that bird!
And please notice the form as I jump off of the boat. That is a wetsuit.
