MURIEL ARRIVES AT BALTRA TO BE GREETED BY GIANT TORTOISES


THE GIRLS ARE RESTED AND READY TO DO SOME KAYAKKING
THEN HE STOPPED AND HAD A LITTLE CHEW

THE TORTOISE TUCKED HIS HEAD INSIDE HIS PROTECTIVE SHELL


JUST A LITTLE MORE TRAVELLING TO DO FOR THE DAY


WHERE DID THESE BIG GUYS COME FROM?


The big happening on Nov. 18 was that Muriel arrived at Baltra on Galapagos.  I was at the airport to meet her.  What a trouper!  It must be those Wyrcimaga travelling genes.  It was at least a 30 hour trip for her with a through the night wait at Baltra.  We did the usual bus, ferry, taxi into the town of Puerta Ayora.  Enroute our driver spotted some giant land tortoises moving along a mud track adjacent to the highway.  We stopped and had an up close and personal visit with two of the giants.


GREAT TO SEE SMILING MURIEL WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT BALTRA
