I could probably keep this travelogue series from the Galapagos going for many more posts, but this is, after all, a real estate website, I'm sure I've already bored you to tears, and I have a draft folder full of market reports giving me the evil eye.

So, without a real theme, I'll just wrap this up by posting some of the photos of the other amazing things we saw on this fantastic trip.

Cotacachi Crater Lake

Hand Loom Weaving in Otovalo

Cotopaxi Volcano in a bad mood. Is it going to blow?

Otovalo Ecuador

Pinnacle Rock, Bartolome Island, Galapagos

James Bay, Santiago Island, Galapagos

Galapagos Penguin

We ran into a pod of about 15 Pilot Whales off of Fernandina Island

Oh my goodness...that sea lion cub is adorable. He looks like a pencil sketch with the texture of his coat.

Back in the late 1990's I was mountaineering quite a bit and Cotopaxi was a popular climb for those looking to reach higher in elevation than the lower 48. Not so sure that would be a good idea today... Great photos.

Hi Elizabeth - Thanks. A couple of people from our group did that, but we didn't really have time, and we did a week on the Amazon in Peru last year.
