Photos of our new friends from the Ecuador and Galapagos Trip

Our group on the river boat to the Yarina Lodge:

For our last night at the Yarina Lodge, Winter made all of us special hats.  We really liked tham and looked great!  The boys hats were a palm leaf and made us look like Robin Hood.  The girls hats were made of palm fibers and were worthy of an Indian princess!

Tina and Connie drying off and hiding from the sun on our "Panga" boat ride back to the "Treasure of Galapagos I".  They are wondering what kind of wonderful fruit juice will be prepared for us by Wilson and served by Victor to be waiting for us when we get back on the boat:

Great colors in an underwater photo that Connie took of Tina:
