AliceDate: 4/2/10

Location: San Cristobal Island, Galapagos

Morning brought more wonderful weather and a boat trip to Los Lobos and Kicker
Rock, two great snorkel spots. At Los Lobos we swam with playful sea lions and
enjoyed the beautiful turquoise waters. Kicker Rock is a small island a mile or
two offshore which rises 450 feet out of the water and drops into ocean another
450 feet straight down. We stayed close to the walls but could still feel the
presence of the deep ocean while enjoying the amazing underwater life. In the
afternoon we ventured to the highlands to see Galapagos' only freshwater lake
and got our first glimpse at the giant tortoises. The picture shows Alice as we
depart Kicker Rock.

Hey Ronnie,
Was that a real sea lion you were perched on? Tucker and I want to know the truth! Happy Easter and glad you arrived safely.

We had a nice Easter with the family and missed you, Mary Lou. Looking forward to the continuing news of your adventures and hope that you are enjoying your time in the Galapagos. The snorkeling off Kicker must have been a blast! How did you like swimming in 400+ feet of water? Matt said that anything after the first 8 feet shouldn't be any more of an issue!

Hi Ronnie,

DBT is done and we were both pleased with the results. I am particularly happy that it's over and having done it once, no, twice, I am confident that I can do other ones . . . just not right away!

Hope your adventures continue to be challenging and fun.

See you soon!
Love,
Carol
