Trip of a Lifetime I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within. ~Lillian Smith

Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island, Galapagos

ECUADOR | Wednesday, 20 February 2008 | Views [669]

We arrived at the Darwin Research Station at 7 a.m.  We took a quick walk around and found the Giant Tortoises.  They live to close to 200 years old.  We watched them eat breakfast of plant leaves.  It looked like such a struggle for them. We then went on to a farm where they had a preserve for giant tortoises in the wild.  We put on rubber boots and went for an hour walk and saw about four during that time.  We then headed to the airport, back to Quito.  If anyone ever gets the opportunity to go to the Galapagos Islands.  Go!
