You can see how many frigate birds are circling and landing here.
There is a semi-abandoned building, with what looks like different offices. In each one, exactly one iguana sat taking in the sun. It was like a little iguana office building. Koiya called this one 'the King'. I'm pretty sure that isn't an Elvis reference, as others were the queen, prince, etc.
This woman was making tortillas to feed 40 people!

The blue footed booby on this nest flew off, but returned soon after we passed by.
The volcanic rock on the 'beach' at the west side of the island.
Koiya puts on her goggles to keep the onions from bothering her eyes. She loves to make quesadillas. If they have just cheese and onions, we call them 'quesadillas Koiya'.
