This installment of the blog has random pictures from around the local area. Below is a shot taken by daniel at Punta Gorda. very nice selection of Sea shells that were just too big to take home with us.
The Passion fruit Flower ( Flor de maracuja ) one of the most intricate flowers. I was very excited to take this photo.
Here everyone is covered in sulfuric mineral mud that is supposed to be great for the skin. Smells like rotting eggs. This is in Aguas Blancas near Puerta Lopez.

Shortly before foosball we had dinner where a musical duo gave a little preformance.
Here is a Blue Footed Boobie family.

Turtle rides anyone?
After a few banana´s Miguelito is all smiles
There he is doing a little dance for us
here is Ashley trying to get her hand bit off, just kidding Miguelito wouldn´t hurt a fly. he is a vegetarian terrestrial tortuga. He is well over a hundred years old and has only lived about half
of the average life of turtles like him. We were privalaged to visit him at a near by elementary school where he serves as a great learing tool for the natural world and a mascot for nature!
