THe perfect beach. The sand at this beach was like fine powder, and pure white. The water was clear turqoise.

Galapagos Sharks, these guys averaged anywhere from 8 - 12 feet long.
there were about two dozen circling us!

One of the most incredible things i've done in my life!

That Looks like a Great Time I Would have loved to do the shark cage... defnly on my to do list

[firstmazda]

Thanks guys!
I love it there so much. We've been three years in a row now and I think we're planning to go back again next year.

I've been considering moving there, even if it was just for a year!

The shark cage was definitely an incredible experience. I'd love to go outside of the cage one day.

I think we should all plan a TM3 meets Hawaii meet!
