Full circle
Glad to see you are a couple of hours from home. Hope the family is doing well and yourself.

Rocky Roads and Wildlife
Gosh, that path does look very rocky! I imagine walking on it can't have been much fun. Amazing wildlife though, and the fact that they just ignore you and go about their natural lives as if you weren't there indeed makes the Galapagos such a special place. Air conditioning, good food, beer and bed at the end of each day sounds perfect!

Happy & Relaxed
Love seeing that smile.

Brenno Breaks Barriers.... and snorkels!
Bravo my friend. You took to water like a new born penguin. Travel Brenno is always so impressive! Life has been far too busy since our return and we need to publish our final Galapagos blog. You've given us the push we needed. I miss Barb and Diane. I need to reach out to them. Eager for more.

Choosing Wisely
It looks like you chose wisely to go to the Galapagos, Brendan! Such amazing experiences, such amazing wildlife. I'm similar with the snorkelling - I'm actually a big fan of swimming (in a swimming pool), but had to really pluck up the courage to go snorkelling in the Galapagos. I was so glad I did it, as I imagine you were too. I visited the same tortoise reserve as you on San Cristobal Island - lovely place, lovely animals! 😊

Galapagos
I had a similar experience arriving in the Galapagos, Brandon. I cried walking over the tarmac. There is something so special about those paradisical islands, I think many people feel it, like a return to Eden. And you found your very own crab, yay! Glad you were persuaded to try the water. I love water, but am no fan of deep water or sharks - I'm glad I overcame my fears to experience both these while there. I'm looking forward to reading more 😊

Yum yum
Mmm, it's making me hungry reading this Brendan (or should I say Brenno!) I'd read how Maria was able to meet with you and still do the cooking class at a moment's notice in MJ and Dave's blog - what a wonderful lady! I hadn't read how you "chose" to do the empanada dish though, lol! The nicest empanadas I have ever had were from a chain of eateries when I lived in Paraguay called Don Vito. I have no idea how they were made, but my taste buds still tingle at the thought of them, even though this was over 20 years ago. Definitely a must if you ever go to Paraguay, which admittedly is probably unlikely for anyone...! Glad you got a few ideas for Chef Brendan back home 😊

Bravo
Look at those red feet! Beautiful. Wildlife in the wild is the best.

A wish choice
We were happy to be on this trip with you. Travel Brenno squeezed every ounce of adventure there was to have and you became very good at snorkeling! Bravo. Time to move to Florida. LOL.
