Hey Ms. Barrett,
I was just wondering, are there any major cities in the Galapagos Islands, and if so what can you do there? Also, if I were to go fishing, would I catch anything different than I would in the United States?

Elijah,
Yes, the major town on this island is Puerto Baquerizo Morelo, which happens to be the capital of the Galapagos Islands. But it really isn´t that large at all. The largest town is Puerto Ayora on the island of Santa Cruz. For fun on the islands, children around your age play soccer, volleyball, basketball, go swimming, spend time with their families, and hang out with friends.
The locals on San Cristobal fish for carabale, loros, sapatillas, and roncadores. These are the Spanish names; I have to find out what they are in English!

Yes, blue feet! The blue-footed booby is just one of the amazing animals that calls these islands home. Please join me as I travel to the Galapagos Islands from September 30, 2007 through October 12, 2007 to learn about the unique animals of the Galapagos and the environment in which they live.
Teachers - Do you want to go to the Galapagos Islands?
