Day 2 - Isla Rábida/Isla Bartolomé  

On Day 2 we visited Isla Rábida. The beach was red sand and really beautiful.  There were sea lion pups immediately when we arrived playing in the water and chasing after a marine iguana.  We also saw some different birds, including the Galapagos hawk.  In Bartolomé we walked up to a lookout and then searched for Galapagos penguins.  We also had the chance to do some snorkeling around.  Here are some pics:

Sails are up and ready to go to Bartolomé.  The put up the sails twice but they are just really for show.
Juan, JoJo, and Edin.  Part of the AMAZING crew!

Hard to make out, but with the shape of the ray it might be a manta ray.
