Today was a fun and yet trecherous day. We are on the island of Española. In the morning we went to Gardner bay and walked along a gorgeous beach with hundreds of sea lions. the waster was so clear and blue it was amazing. We also saw birds, crabs and iguanas. We had plenty of time to walk and enjoy the beach with these magnificent creatures.
Then we went snorkeling from the beach. We again saw many fish and rays. Antonio even poked at a shark and it came out for a little bit and then went back into hiding. i was breathing so hard when he was playing with the shark. I know that sharks usually don´t attack unless provoked, I felt that he was being provoked. Apparently I was wrong though.
After lunch we went on a long hike, approximately 2 hours. We saw sea lions, christmas iguanas, blue-footed boobies, hawks, nasca boobies and galapagos gulls. The sun was so hot and just beating down. i believe it was 108 degrees. Luckily we got caught in a down pour of rain which felt so good after getting an intense beating from the sun. But the rocks were slippery and we were soaked. We again learned a lot and had a good day despite getting burned and caught in a down pour and being exhausted.
