Wildlife on Galapagos

I found this among the many videos on YouTube and it shows the wide rang of animals and birds and reptiles we will see!  I thought you might enjoy it as well.  Click on the above  title "Wildlife on Galapagos" to see the 6 minute video.

Snow Days!

This has been a wonderful winter for those that love the snow!  But according to "Phil" we only have 6 more weeks to go before the cold weather lets go of it's icy grip and we head into Spring.  So How has your winter been?  How many inches of snow did you get?  Did you love it or hate it?  Have you got any pictures to show us?  Who had the most snow at one time?  I'm betting Richard in PA had the most, and Ely in CA the least (if any?)  Share your best winter story with us!
