On our exploration of San Cristobal Island, we tool a closer look at the geology of the islands and visited the same shore where the HMS Beagle landed in 1835. We were rewarded with beautiful tuff cones, rare plants and the infamous blue-footed booby! Today we also celebrated my birthday on a different continent for the 3rd year in a row. Ecuadorians like to celebrate large!
