Baby Sea Lion

You know that restaurant, museum, book or trip that everyone says is the best restaurant, the best museum, the best book or the best trip ever? We all know that very rarely do these ever meet our expectations.

The Galapagos Islands are the exception.

It is truly an amazing place and we experienced it on a boat with one of the most fantastic staff under the sun. It is hard to explain what it is like to step off of a boat and onto an uninhabited island with baby sea lions less than a foot away. To go snorkeling with sharks, sea turtles, penguins and giant rays. To see the infamous Darwin finches, the gigantic tortoises, and then capture the [hilarious] albatross mating dance.

I know for a fact that I will not do the trip justice with words, so I am going to do my best to share the experiences with you through photos.
