San Cristobal was the first island in the Galapagos that Charles Darwin visited in September 1835
We visited a Nature Center an array of local flora
The Center traces the history of the Islands including the infamous lives of early settlers of Floreana The drama of love, hate, mystery and murder For more information on this check out the movie "The Galapagos Affair Satan Came to Eden"
The islands in a waterfront fountain	Many boats anchored this morning
Remembering our time on the Archipell II
	In this open area at the stern we stored our "shore shoes," walking sticks and snorkeling gear This kept the interior of the ship clean of dirt and contaminents from shore excursions From this deck we transferred on and off the Zodiac rafts
A beautiful view from the bow when sailing	Why is this tortoise here?
We awoke each morning to his picture	We were the "Tortoise" Cabin
Creative towel folding by our cabin attendant
	Ceviche
The dining room	Our chef demonstrating how to make ceviche
Our crew who took excellent care of us
