Published: April 27th 2007

I have just landed in Quito for the second time in my life. I have just sat through another Ecuadorian Taxi Ride.

"What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? Each moment seems to split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land." (diarios de las motocicletas) My story is one of adventure. A story of two like minded people embarking on a journey into a land whose oldest memories still mark her surface. I am on the verge of realising my dream of touring South America, and throughout this diary that dream shall come to fruition.

Look at that hat!

What a tourist

50 Marine Iguanas

Sitting on a beach

Show your true colours!

When mating time comes around, these little land iguanas put on a new coat of colour hoping to attract another equally outfitted mate.

Turquoise

Is that how you spell it? Anyway it is beautiful (except perhaps for that thing in the middle)

Attractive Booby

This Blue-Footed-Booby is doing a little dance and mating call to his girlfriend. He has already climbed up onto a rock to make it seem like he is bigger then her, when in reality the females are larger.

Red sand and Sea-lions

This is only a 6 week old guy, trying to get used to the water, so that he can learn to fish

Cloudy Skies

Looming over red sands. But the clouds always cleared in the afternoon.

A painting

I can´t take the credit for this one, it is a work by ´Manny´06´

Quick Hide

Trying to sneak all the way into his shell to avoid being seen. Unfortunatley he has eaten a little too much I think.

Down-Periscope

A tortoise caught in the barrel of a binocular.

Morning Glory

This flower that chooses such arid, and salty conditions chooses to close up its petals at midday, and only opens up in the morning.

Good Seal

Just Chillin

This balloon like throat is pretty sexy among the local bird community

And here they come

Irresistable

Up close

Because the wildlife here just doesn´t fear us!

Still closer

Booby

with Baby

Land Iguana

He was my first! that I saw.

Estoy celoso!
Andres, Has hecho algo que todovia ho he hecho en todos mis viajes a America Latina. Has visitado las islas Galapagos cual es un sueno que tuve para mas que 20 anos. Todo que escribiste es en acuerdo con mi comprehension de las islas, como bella son y como fantastico son los animales alla. Felicidades por que lo has hecho, las memorias van a quedar en tu memoria para siempre. Un abrazo, Tomas
