The final days, then home, sweet home
I got home safely on the 18th. I’ve been trying to catch up on life since I’ve been back.
Since I last updated, I went on an awesome day trip snorkeling and hiking with some friends, worked my butt off finishing graphics, and spent a fun day in Quito visiting the Pichincha volcano.
I also had a few technology scares. Everything started going wrong at once–my camera was acting up, I lost my phone, and I thought my laptop had died on the plane ride. Luckily, I found my phone, and my laptop is alive.
I’m really excited about getting back to campus, although I really miss the Galapagos.
Here are some pictures from my final days:
I finally got some ceviche--it had fish, shrimp, and octopus in it.

The Darwin Statue-it's supposed to be at the place where he first landed in the Galapagos
I love snorkeling with sea lions--they'll get so close they're almost touching you

At Loberia
The contrast between the bright green fauna, the light-colored sand and the black rocks is striking
15,000 feet in the air at the Pichincha volcano. That's Quito in the background.
