Quito and the Galpagos (Paperback)

Paperback. Ever been hit on by a sea lion? Flirted with a booby? Explored lava tubes, swam with sharks, or gotten altitude sickness from a handsome immigration officer?In this full-color, not-so-typical memoir, scientist-turned-storyteller Adelia Ritchie takes readers on a wildly entertaining and visually stunning journey through the wonders of Ecuador-from volcano-rimmed Quito to the surreal, wildlife-rich Galapagos Islands. Alongside a lively group of expat adventurers, she encounters sea turtles, blue-footed showoffs, lava lizards, karaoke bars, marine iguanas, and the world's most romantic boat captain.Packed with photos, wit, and wonder, Quito and the Galapagos Islands is part field guide, part personal diary, and all heart. From colonial heights to volcanic shores -follow Adelia's bucket-list adventures through the cobbled colonial streets of Quito, Ecuador's capital city, then dive into the living legacy of the Galapagos archipelago.
