Galapagos Islands

This was the best snorkeling spot of the whole trip. I snorkeled out to the rocks in the middle of the picture. Several sea lions accompanied me. They were very friendly and playful. They would swim circles around me; I think they were showing off. Looking underwater, I could see one coming. Just before he got to me, he would spin over on his back, dive under me, then do a quick turn and zip off in some other direction. The sand really was that white.
