Day 120

     On Floreana Island, we found Ghost and Sally Lighfoot crabs on the beach and sea turtles and sting rays in the surf.  We also played soccer.  It was passengers against the crew and they didn�t take it too well when we won.
     We also stpped by Post Office Bay.  Starting in the 1700�s there has been a �mail box� used by passing pirates, whalers, and new travellers.  The idea is to drop off mail heading back from where you came and pick up others going to your detination.  Most people just post the letters from home, but tradition says hand delivery should be rewarded with a bottle of wine.  We took part and have a few cards to deliver back home in December.
     As we sailed back to Puerto Ayora, we were followed by two whales and later had dolphins playing at the bow again.  Reaching land, the first thing we did was order a pizza (a week of seafood was great but too much) and we met up with friends for a night on the town.

Day 121

     Today was the official end of our trip.  It was a memorable one made even better by the friends we met and our incredible guide, Tony Castro.  There is much more to tell.  For example, my favorite was snorkeling everyday with amazing tropical fish, sea turtles, rays, and sharks.  I even was chased by a sea lion out of his territory.  Anyway, we expect the pictures (in December) will tell the sory in ways we can�t.
     We spent the rest of the day on the beach and eating non-fish food.

Day 122

     We flew back to Quito, which was completely uneventful except the scare we gave ourselves talking about flying on Friday the 13th.  After 10 days in the Galapagos, we were slightly overwhelmed by the lights, sound, and people in the city.
