Day 94  Nov 5 2014   Puerto Lopez

The day started with a taxi ride into Puerto Lopez followed by a 1 hr and 25 min boat ride to  La Isla de la Plata which is also known as the Poor Mans Galapagos.  When we got to the island and were getting ready to go ashore we could see lots of large sea turtles swimming around the boat.  On the Island we saw lots of birds including the blue footed bobbies some of which were doing the mating dance for the females.  The end of the island tour was followed with a light lunch on the boat and snorkeling.  The fish were amazing both in color and number, we also saw sea turtles.  When we were snorkeling near the boat we swam into a cloud of particulate matter which the fish were rushing into to eat.  Evy thought that the people on the boat were feeding the fish so they would cluster together for us to see,  that was, until I explained that somebody had vomited into the water.  Needless to say she was  a little grossed out.  The boat ride back to main land was rough and 2 people got sea sick as opposed to one on the way to the island.   It was a very enjoyable day.
