One of the activities on the Española tour was snorkeling. We took a two hour boat ride from San Cristóbal to Española. One Dramamine just wasn’t doing the trick, but after downing a second one Chris managed to enjoy the time somewhat. We arrived and took about a two hour hike and saw the birds that inhabit that island. Chris had to endure many mosquito bites and was threatening divorce. The second half of the day after lunch was snorkeling time. We had our own guide, Edison, for just the two of us so Chris felt comfortable going at her own pace. He had a floating ring and when he let go of it to dive to the bottom, a sea lion pup took hold of the rope in its mouth for just a couple seconds giving Chris a little ride and a good underwater laugh putting all thoughts of divorce aside. It was great fun! They are so naturally playful and it’s nice to see them exhibit that behavior in their natural habitat. Of course there were colorful fish and a turtle which we have seen snorkeling before - but the highlight had to be the sea lions.
