the next two days are on land. First we took a zodiac ride and saw a
lone flamingo, a great heron, and a blue footed boobie.
After going ashore we visited the post office where sailors left letters
to be picked up by others heading home. They keep up the tradition today
and tourists leave post cards to be picked up by subsequent tourists.
When we got to the post office we all looked thru the post cards left by
previous visitors and we were encouraged to take any addressed to places
close to where we live to hand deliver them. They emphasized they should
be hand delivered. We were very surprised when someone called out they
had a post card for Del Mar and it turned out to be addressed to people
we know! So we will be hand delivering a post card to them when we get
back. What a coincidence.
Then we went snorkeling and saw many tortoises. Most were at the bottom
in murky water so hard to get a good picture, but then one came to the
surface to breathe so I got a good shot.
