Quito once again. Yesterday (Sunday), we traveled to Bartolome Island, another island of the Galapagos. This was an early day as we left the hotel by 5am to catch our boat. The boat took us to Bartolome Island where we climbed a steep set of steps to get to the foothills of a volcano (a very picturesque moment). From there we went on another snorkeling adventure. The sights on this adventure were absolutely breathtaking. We saw sea lions, iguanas, sharks, swam with penguins and beautiful fish. 
This was for sure the highlight of the day. Some of the underwater video we were able to capture signifies the excitement in which we were able to participate. Enjoy this amazing video that Mr. Pirring took of a penguin swimming at arms length from us. He didn't like Mr. Pirring's camera too much!Today (Monday) was solely devoted to traveling back to Quito from the Galapagos. We arrived our our hotel a little while ago. We just ate dinner and are having Salsa lessons at 8pm, provided by none other than Mr. Pirring (joking - we have hired someone to give us salsa lessons, but you could imagine what it would be like otherwise!)
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we are off to do some community work in a school. We then plan on riding a cable car (Telferico). This is the 4th highest cable car in the world. We will then visit the marketplace one last time to grab all of you some last-minute souvenirs. We will be back at the hotel for dinner, pack it up, and we will be on our way home first thing Wednesday morning. Until tomorrow . . . good night.
