At the airport on Baltra in the Galápagos
The most well known church in Cuenca (with the three blue domes), and no, it is NOT the one where went went for the blessing of the compromiso rings. It is, however, right beside where Mónica's father works at ETAPA. We were on top of the building when we took this picture. :)
Here is one of many farms near Cuenca
Some are some campesinos that work on the farms. (Actually they were going to the church that we were parked beside when Mónica took this picture.)
A view of things along the way when we were going to Ingapirca
These are some Blue Footed Boobies on Caamaño
And this is an iguanita soaking its "tail end" in a pool of water :)
This is what Caamaño looks like from ECChD (Estación Científica Charles Darwin)
Caamaño in January-March 1997
Caamaño in May-June 1997

The old swimming hole
Yes there are even hunchbacks!
Iguana pride is prevalent
. . . as is sea lion pride and ownership
Other (land) iguanas are in lower numbers (here with Jose)
During egg laying there is a mass inward migration
Many iguanas on the rocks
An OWEE!
More OWEES! (Sandra's wrists)

VERY interesting tourist activities observed . . . by sea lions (Rated R)
