Landing on the Galapagos Islands for the first time is something that will stick in my memory forever. Maybe it was the tikihut airport, or maybe it was the sea lions lounging on a nearby beach, but something made this place very special. I was greeted by Nelly and her 4 energetic children, Roberto (16), Analia (14), Ivan (11), and Andre (8). It was evident that this town was very small, and it was reminding me of home very much! The Saltos family owns a small hostel, aswell as a fruit/vegetable/chicken farm. My days are spent in town at the hostel, and evenings at the farm. Whether it be manhunt, soccer, or dancing, the kids keep my on my toes 24/7. They always remind me how much Spanish I have yet to learn, and it is very humbling to be taking lessons from an 8 year old!
