ABC Wednesday—W is for "whiskers"

When I was sailing around the Galapagos this past
October, I came out on deck one early morning
and encountered this endearing visitor.

The 14 passengers were thrilled to welcome 
this sea lion aboard (she didn't stay too long
though, as this was the spot where we 
boarded the pangas for our shore excursions).

  1. Oh MY Gosh!!!!! such a sweet face!
    I wonder if I'll ever get there?
    I just received a Christmas card from a distant relative who visited the islands with her family. they took a picture of themselves with a giant sea (?) turtle and they were all wearing santa hats.

  6. Lovely creatures and a sweet face. I think I read somewhere that they are starting to limit visitors to the Galapagos. Sad but probably necessary.
