I don't think that you can go there and not be changed by it.

I've also wanted to see the Galapagos, I believe you when you say it is a special and fragile place. <br /><br />Interestingly I've recently been watching a fascinating documentary series all about Darwin, and the different ways the Theory of Evolution has spread throughout Western societies,Coastal Aussienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8299634881718787326.post-430893027236830842009-10-13T07:27:29.344-07:002009-10-13T07:27:29.344-07:00Booby !!!! ... she said "Booby" !!!!

There certainly is a problem with rubbish and too many people heading to the Galapagos. When I was there, it had just been agreed that the big cruise ships could start to visit - nooooooooo!!!!!! The whole point of the place is that it is isolated, miles from anywhere, with limited human contact.

They're ugly brutes but boy they're tame! Nasty rash you've got there Debs? I didn't realise it but Darwin spent some time in Australia too . . he was less than impressed from what I've heard. I did hear recently though that they're having a problem disposing of rubbish that the humans leave behind.

I rather like my face and don't know if I want my eyes, nose, and mouth replaced with fuzzy blackness.
