Learning new things every day.

Isabela Island. Peter is better today. We went out on the zodiac this morning. We were looking for sea turtles, which we saw, and this island has 'tree lions' as opposed to sea lions. We were floating through mangroves and learned that the sea lions have learned to climb the aerial roots and sun themselves on branches because there is no shoreline on this island.... hence tree lions (which we didn't see). Evolution and adaption to environment.  Peter and I stayed on board most of the day and relaxed, and then went on an evening zodiac cruise (panga as they call them) to see a few penguins. Others went on a deep sea snorkel, but came back early and very cold!
