On Saturday morning (October 10th), we embarked on a tour of la Reserva Nacional Pinguino de Humboldt. We took a boat out to la isla de choros to see penguins, seals, birds and of course, magical dolphins. One of the ladies on our boat had a bell that she kept ringing to bring all the dolphins to our vessel. I was skeptical at first but the bell definitely worked because the dolphins stayed near our boat the entire time. In order to see the dolphins, we traveled quite far from the island into the deep blue sea. My friend Jeanny, who doesn't swim, had a death grip on Grace and the boat the entire time. At one point she was talking about how the ocean looked like jell-o, then when she turned and saw the "You're a crazy lady" look on both Grace and my faces, she muttered, "I just don't want to think about drowning!" Hahaha.
The road out to our boat.
The penguins in Chile smell as bad as the ones at the San Francisco zoo.
Lone penguin.
Starfish! This is for you, Kelly Morris!
Just around the river bend....
