Since we are now 2.5 months behind we thought we would post some shots of where we are now. THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS!!
View from Seymour Norte

Nesting Waved Albatross on Española Island
Josh with a Giant Tortoise, El Chato, Santa Cruz
The Galapagos is not a place for backpackers, so to save money towards a few nights accomadation we made our own snorkels out of electrical conduit for 30 centavos each and have been wearing our speedo goggles (thanks Heather and Ashley!).
Swimming with sea lions
Stay tuned for more Galapagos shots in a few months...
Happy Canada Day to you two too! Love the conduit snorkles!! How far above the surface do they reach? Do they ever droop and give you a lung full? Do they leak around the 'mouthpiece'? Maybe you should post instructions for manufacture and use on your blog, to prevent fellow budget conscious travelers from drowning?! :-) Love the Faces of Latin America that you are sharing with us. Put me down for the book! Pete
Happy Canada Day from Mum and Dad! Your swimming with the sea lion photo is amazing. Can't get over how close you can get to all the animals. Love, Mum
Welcome to our travel blog. Our amazing trip through Latin America came to an end in December 2009 and we are currently living in Australia. However, we will continue to publish posts every few days until we are caught up.

An interactive map of our route to date. Our Google map account seems to be a little overloaded now so to see our entire route click "View Josh and Laura's Journey in a larger map." You may alternatively click and drag this mini map to see where we are now. While our photos are typically months behind we tend to keep the map relatively current.
