It's nap time for the Galapagos tortoise. These giant turtles don't live pastthe ripe ol' age of 100 for nothing.

Break on through to the other side at Kicker Rock.

The locals party pretty hard in the Galapagos.

Heaven on earth? Quite possibly.

A brief respite in civilization does a traveler good.

White sands, all to yourself? You can have it without paying a pretty penny.

Mr. Iguana, so good to see you again!

A soft bed for $10 will do just fine.

It's very easy to make friends in the Galapagos.

Yes, this is for real.

You won't have to resort to a tortoise's dinner while traveling cheaply in theGalapagos.

You know, just hanging out with the locals.

Your pennies will take you a long way when it comes to sustenance.

Who's "wildlife" - us or them?

It's good to know your finches.

It's a friggin' frigate!

Pop a squat. Stay awhile. There's no rush on the sandy Galapagos beaches.
