The Galapagos Islands

[MuggsyB]

Has anyone here been there??  I would really like to dive there sometime in the next few years.  Anyway, I was just curious if there were any suggestions there and Ecuador.  Thx.

My sister did it. Very expensive but she still raves about how wonderful it was.

I think you get to hunt them yourself and they they cook 'em up for you.

In their own shells.

Despite what others might tell you, the blue-footed booby does NOT taste like chicken, they are much tastier.

We all like a good booby.

Ya....it is costly.  Especially getting there.  Ty brother dgies.

The vitriol towards tortoises from other people here is not right and not in the least bit humorous.   We are destroying many our beloved species and your lack of compassion is troubling and disturbing.

You should apologize Billy.  This is pure evil.

There is no vitriol. The tortioises taste delightful.

But I posted that boobies are better! It would have been disparaging if I said chicken was better.

Former coworker of mine went and said it was incredible.  She also said that for the right donation to Ecuadorian politicians, you can get a special island dinner tour.

I mean, if you REALLY care about them, you should probable avoid the carbon footprint of getting there, and then disturbing them in their native environment.  Rent a documentary and see it all from the from the comfort of your home, meanwhile helping to save the beloved species.

You have people here making comments about eating manatees and lemurs,  among other endangered species, and yet you reprimand me taking an airplane somewhere.  Seems ridiculous to put it mildly.

Whatever is easiest for you pbifllyer.  I appreciate it.  I guess I'm mostly trying to figure out how many days one should spend in Quito or perhaps other spots in Ecuador?  Thx again.

Oh, I take plenty of flights, but that's a sure way to create the seafood stew that seems to insult you so much!

Not to mention destroying the coral reefs with his scuba diving and his sunscreen.

Muggsy:
I have been reading that diving in The Galapagos can be very dangerous with the currents and cold water . They say it's for advanced divers . I hope you take care if you actually go on this trip

I'm well aware, like most divers, of the fragility of coral reefs.

Ty Herman.  I'm fairly experienced and won't go when the waters are cool Aug-Dec.

If only folks treated each other as well as they cared for and treated animals, aina?

Some rise
Some fall
Some climb
To get to terrapin (soup)

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Yeah, but how's the crime in the neighborhood of the Galapagos?
NM - wrong thread.
