Watching the social behavior of sealions was so cool. Everyday was something new and exciting. Everyday was better than the day before.

sealions are the most adorable. They form bonds with other baby sealions while the mom is out at sea hunting 😍
They are also curious and not afraid of humans.

WATCH TILL THE END: Marine iguanas can stay under water in the ocean for 30 mins. This means they swallow a lot of salty ocean water. When they come back on land, they have glands connected to their nose to excrete the excess salt. They sneeze it salt. Watch till the end to see a marine iguana sneeze the excess salt directly at me 😂♥️

The first hike was on Sombrero Chino Island, about 200 meters from the southern coast of Santiago Island. We saw marine iguanas and lava lizards, both of which are very well camouflaged on the black lava rocks. We also saw adult Sally Lightfoot crabs, which stand out on the black lava rocks. The sea looked beautiful, with birds flying around and blue-footed boobies diving in to get fish.

Our first Galapagos Penguin. They're smaller than I thought. They're only about 18 - 20 inches tall. This little guy looked like he wanted to jump into the water.

Within hours of boarding our cruise in the Galapagos, we were welcomed by a pod of bottlenose dolphins! They traveled with us for a few mins before going their own way. This was by far one of the best vacations of my life. ❤️🐬

Day 1 in Quito: walking around the city. Nothing strenuous while we acclimatize to 9,350 feet elevation.

We have two days in Quito, but it's at 9,350 feet elevation, so we didn't want to do anything too strenuous. This is the second highest city in the world. We needed to acclimatize to the high elevation. We walked around museo de a Ciudad. It was a nice and relaxing day.
