Today we woke up feeling refreshed and began a new day. We started off the day with yoga on the rooftop terrace overlooking the ocean, followed by a delightful breakfast. After breakfast, we headed out for a walk around the town doing some shopping and catching up on the internet. Everything is a little more money in the Galapagos, so we limited the shopping.
We stumbled upon a street filled with locals on their lunch break and found a spot for lunch. A typical alumuerzo has a set lunch of juice, soup, rice and some sort of protein. We had fish and lobster salad with lunch today. All of this costs less than $3 and it is even cheaper on the mainland.
After lunch we started our 3 mile walk to Tortuga Bay, two miles on cobblestone and one on the beach. On the way we passed a group of marine iguanas that looked as though they were multiplying in front of us. There must have been at least 50 of them huddled together keeping warm. We also saw a blue-footed boobie. I wish I had my camera with me because words don´t explain it very well. The beach was set back a little from the ocean in a quite bay. We relaxed, read and went for a dip in the ocean. We concluded the day with a dinner near the shore. I think I could live here.

Allison . . . your Mom delivers our mail. She's a joy. Your adventure has just begun. As you progress down the West Coast take note of the variances in local dialects. Then compare what you heard in Quito with what you will hear in Buenas Aries.
