The Galapagos: A Post by Taylor

My favorite part about the Galapagos was all the sea lions. The sea lions were all over town. They would sleep by curbs and on benches and they would sometimes block the bridge so we had to go down on the sand. One time, there was this crazy sea lion who would not let anybody cross the bridge. We tried to get up, but he started chasing us down. When other people wanted to get up, he would chase them away. He would chase other people away and wouldn't let them cross the bridge, until finally he gave up.

There also was another time where a sea lion we named Magical Houdini got on a bridge that wasn't connected to anything, so even humans couldn't get on. We never saw him get on or off, so we still don't know how he did it.

At the beach, we could go swimming with the sea lions. They would play in the water and brush up against humans. They had pups all season long, so there were a lot of baby sea lions trailing behind their moms. 

The Galapagos will probably be one of my favorite memories from our trip.

  1. Hi, Taylor! I've been catching up on your family's journey, and WOW! Your family's travel blog is so detailed and funny that reading every entry is a treat. The picture of the sea lions in this post is awesome. It's confounding how Magical Houdini got on that bridge! Safe travels, and I look forward to the next entry after your family emerges from the Wifi-less Tahuayo Lodge jungle!
