Dar-winning: Falling in Love with the Enchanted Islands

Christopher Aguiar
 February 19, 2014

We’ve only been here in the Galápagos for 2 weeks, but I have already fallen in love with it. The people here are incredible, the food is great, and the wildlife is amazing. We dove with hammerheads, laid on the beach next to lobos (sea lions) and had finches flying by as we ate lunch. Galápagos is a truly amazing place! I’m excited to spend the next 3 months studying abroad here. Can’t wait to explore San Cristóbal and the rest of the islands!
