Lazy Focas
Walking
in the Galapagos, you cannot but be overwhelmed by the number of seals lazing around. In roads, on beaches, on steps, on boats, in fact anywhere where there was a flat or comfortable piece of ground that they could fit on. Except
that we were abruptly corrected by every local. These are not seals – they are sea lions. Sea lions are ‘lobos de mar’ in Spanish, whereas the Spanish for seal is ‘foca’. But ‘lazy lobos de mar’ doesn’t have the same ring.
Just some photos of our lazy friends.
