May 28, 2026 Last night we had a blast at dinner. We’d already been to Laguna Beach restaurant twice, and we decided that for our final meal, we really just wanted to savor the fried scorpionfish one last time. We sat at our table and enjoyed our pisco sours, alongside the yummy bread and spicyContinue reading “This is Exciting in a Way That I Don’t Want”

Four Hammerheads!
May 27, 2026 Today was our last full day on the Galapagos. We had prearranged to go diving with Scuba Iguana, so Nathan set the alarm to get up at 5:30, and we had our breakfast of yogurt, granola, and coffee, before we packed up our things to walk down to the dive shop. WeContinue reading “Four Hammerheads!”
You Need to Add ‘Swim with Sea Lions’ to your Bucket List!
May 26, 2026 Nathan wanted to join a snorkel tour for today, and that really surprised me yesterday. We are not snorkel tour people. We’re independent, judgy snorkelers, better suited to our own plan. But he wanted to do it so I obliged. I’m so glad I did. We didn’t have to get up andContinue reading “You Need to Add ‘Swim with Sea Lions’ to your Bucket List!”
So, faster than a Sloth?
May 25, 2026 Today we intended to go to Tortuga Bay and we did, but at the last minute, we decided to also book a snorkeling tour for tomorrow (Nathan’s idea) and a highland taxi tour for this afternoon to see the Tortoise ranches (my idea). So, after breakfast it was a WhatsApp scramble, withContinue reading “So, faster than a Sloth?”
He’s Biting the Tail!
May 24, 2026 Well folks, we’ve reached the point of the vacation where the date and day of the week are fuzzy. Vacation success! It’s actually Sunday, and we know a few people with birthdays today, so while the date didn’t come readily, we were both somehow aware of it. We woke up sans alarmContinue reading “He’s Biting the Tail!”
Are You OK if We Share Air At The End?
May 23, 2026 There’s a first for everything, and today was a lot of firsts. Today was our first diving on the Galapagos. We knew that it was supposed to be the Olympics of Diving, and that it would be challenging, cold and with a lot of current. We got up at 5:30, got ourselvesContinue reading “Are You OK if We Share Air At The End?”
Pinguinos!
May 22, 2026 What a day! We got up early, like 5 am going-to-work early, quickly showered, had coffee and yogurt, and put together our backpacks with the gear we’d need for the day. I had arranged a tour to nearby Isabela Island, and we needed to be down by the pier at 6:15 inContinue reading “Pinguinos!”
I’m so Tired, My Thinking is Done.
May 21, 2026 Our 22nd wedding anniversary. And what an adventure it was. Yesterday we left Longmont after a rather frantic and unsettled partial work week. It was cold and rainy before we left, so we had to protect the garden and quickly uncover it Wednesday morning before the shuttle came for us. As usual,Continue reading “I’m so Tired, My Thinking is Done.”
