The unique Casa Blanca overlooked the dock area.>>
We had a little bit of time to roam around
town. This is a growing port city with some ingenious
building methods and inventive delivery

fancy gates or terminals here. On our way in, we paid the
$100 per person park entrance fee. Our guide Enrique (Kique for
short--pronounced key-kay) gathered the 16 passengers for Athala,
our boat. We boarded a bus to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the
capital of the Galápagos, where
we had lunch. We went to an interpretive center where Kique
explained the geology of the islands, and then back to the
town.
Soda and beer on the islands
are only available in returnable, reusable bottles.
It's like going back in time.
