galapagos

My brother and I went on a cruise to the Galapagos!

There were 17 guests onboard our cruise.  Christian was the bartender and waiter.  We had fruity cocktails the first night.

We saw pink flamingos.  They look just like the plastic lawn ornaments, but very graceful.  

A shark!  So cute.

Bermuders (accountants from Bermuda) standing behind a giant tortoise.  

Me: "There need to be more kinds of superheroes.  Like a superhero computer scientist: Hacker-Man.  Also accountants like you guys.  Super-Accountant would discover an account that doesn't balance to zero, and fix it."

Bermuder: "First there'd need to be a trilogy to explain how the account even got into that state."

Me: "No one would suspect the accountant for being a superhero.  It's the perfect cover."

Bermuder: "Yeah, we actually are superheroes."

Me: "Ha ha."

Bermuder: "See?  We're even talking about it right now, and yet you still don't believe it."

Dolphins that randomly swam beside our ship for 10 minutes.

The Galapagos natives care deeply about conservationism.  They got upset whenever they saw garbage.  It was pleasant to see tour guides care so much.


Our cruise friend took a lot of candids.  I'm always sitting around looking distracted.


Our boat!  It was great being on a boat with 17 people instead of thousands, like other cruise ships.

The Galapagos is gorgeous. Which company did you sail with?
Also, I think there are "forensic accountants," who analyze the accounts of criminals to figure out where they are hiding their money...

Wanda, we went with EcoVentura. I liked them a lot.

Ha ha I'd like to see a Marvel movie about forensic accountants.

@Peter Norvig, those photos are great! Especially the blue-footed booby bird. :)
