What’s not to like about the Galapagos?
Well, maybe San Cristobal Island’s aggressive sea lions, which guarded the path between the spot where we jumped out of the zodiac and this picturesque beach.

Boneham, who has lived in Canada since 1952, was one of the 35 original members of the top secret commando unit created by James Bond author Ian Fleming. https://globalnews.ca/news/9591437/the-last-commando-turns-100/
I want to live in a country, and a city, where I can afford to buy a house and raise a family, and where it's safe to walk down the street or use public transit. I feel like it's a reasonable expectation, and yet in so many places across Canada this feels like it's slipping away.
627 @JonathanWNV @PattyHajdu Mar 29 and there are 32 long term advisories, 25 short term advisories, and an additional 21 advisories in BC. 2 more short term advisories added in as many days. FNMI people deserve better. Especially as we are 2 years after your promised fix date.

I lose track of which gorgeous beach was which, on which island…. There was one island, right on the equator, which had a narrow isthmus of sand and palms leading out to a rocky piton. I wanted to settle there for life. “Oh Marianne, oh Marianne….” Except that there would have been a distinct shortage of drinkable water. And the same aggressive sea lions. Oh well. Jim T
Jim T – Yes, I have a vague idea of which was which only because I labelled my photos at the time. And I wouldn’t swear that I got it right. But at this remove, what matter? As for “Oh Marianne” – new to me. As for wanting to settle in a vacation spot – yes, many times.
