At the Entomological Society of Manitoba luncheon yesterday, about 25 of us were treated to an excellent presentation by Bob and Pat on their recent trip to the Galapagos Islands. Having read about Darwin's voyage in the Beagle, it was neat to see Bob and Pat's photos of the islands and their flora and fauna. Bob and Pat, in turn, talked about the geography, volcanic history, and the plants and animals there. Their talk, spiced with anecdotes, was both educational and entertaining.
After reading so much about Darwin and his discoveries, I have always dreamed of going their myself. But, alas, the cost is now too prohibitive for me. On the other hand, lots of other adventures, closer to home, are still affordable.
