GALAPAGOS: August 2011 (Part 6)
Aug 29, 2011 | by Kevin Loughlin
Bartolome Island, Sullivan Bay. Not only the best snorkeling, but also a very picturesque landscape, used in many movies.
The walk to the overlook is now all on boards, which includes over 370 steps!
Along the way few plants can be seen, the largest is the Lava Cactus (above), but the most common is tequilia, or gray mat plant.
The setting sun created long shadows offering fun patterns…
and wonderful colors.
The view from the top is spectacular in any light!
But I was still missing my wife, Lisa, to whom I proposed on this very spot two years ago!
