In the morning we went snorkeling, which will be a separate photo update, as any photos I managed to take were with a disposable underwater camera that I have to get developed.  The walk here involved a surface almost entirely composed of lava boulders, which was not the easiest surface to walk on, but it was totally worth it.  Animals include marine iguanas, albatrosses, galapagos doves, swallow-tailed gulls, galapagos hawks, lots of boobies (nazca and blue-footed), and, of course, sea lions.  <\/p>\n<p><a
