Wow….! Pretty incredible day here – can’t recall a day feeling quite so magical. We met a small group ~10 to take a great boat trip out to Bartolome Island, leaving the downtown area around 7am and arriving to Bartolome around 10am.  On the way we saw so many sea turtles, sharks, sea lions, birds – always something to spot. 

We arrived to Bartolome island and first hiked to its peak. 

Then made our way back down to take a boat ride along the coast where we saw a blue footed booth and.. the penguins!

We went and got gear to snorkel from there – Rawls was freezing (we’re getting wet suits for the cruise) and was struggling with the snorkel so we turned around to hang with the sea lions while William and Shepherd snorkeled with the penguins, sharks, sea urchins and such!
