After lunch they took us out in the dingies to Black Turtle Cove on Santa Cruz Island. The cove is mostly mangroves with some holy stick trees. The holy stick trees look dead most of the time but during the rainy season they will sprout a few leaves. We saw lots of pelicans, it is so cool to watch them cruise along then dive straight down after a fish. We saw a couple of small sharks, a group of rays and 2 sea turtles mating. After we got back, had a briefing for the next day and had dinner, I was done.
I have been
lucky so far on this trip, I have
felt pretty well the whole time. But as
soon as we touched down in Quito I could
feel the effects of the altitude.
I had a nagging headache
that was tolerable with
tylenol, but never really went
away. Here in the galapagos of course,
we are at sea level and I have
felt fine. No problems with the motion
of the boat and no
adverse problems from the food and drink.
Only I am tired because we get
up early and go from one
activity to the next all day
long.
