This week’s #FriFotos theme on Twitter is VIEWS. During my 2010 trip to Belize, I did a three day sailing trip with Raggamuffin Tours. No words can describe the views that Mother Earth provided. I was really enjoying my trip Continue reading Views of Belize
I decided to say good-bye to 2012 and hello to 2013 in my own unique way. I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have a love/hate relationship with sunsets and sunrises (I love them…they hide from me). Some friends even Continue reading Saying Good-bye to 2012 and Hello to 2013

During my trip to the Galapagos, we stayed three nights on Isabela Island. All the islands of the Galapagos were formed by volcanoes and Isabela is no different, but it was the one island where we ventured up to, around Continue reading Hiking into a Volcanic Caldera
The Galapagos penguins are the second smallest penguins in the world. For some reason I was certain I wouldn’t see any on this trip. I figured they would be very elusive. Luckily I saw them three times; all three times Continue reading Penguin Encounters
The lesson of the day was the difference between turtles and tortoises…it’s simple really, yet I had no idea…turtles live in water and tortoises live on land. We got to see both giant tortoises and giant turtles. I’ll post about Continue reading Tortoise Encounters
