Around and Aboard the Galapagos Legend, Friday, October 18, 2019

[heroic_jawline]

We're heading into our final stop this morning before heading back to Quito for the evening, but we've saved the best for last--if you count giant tortoises as the best and you should.

But for now, up and at 'em! Beat Beau to the gym!

"So," said Rosa, who didn't think the whole taking-pictures-with-the-giant-tortoises thing was adorable, shut up, "how do you think she's liking this trip that she probably won't even remember?"

"She doesn't seem to hate it," Kitty answered. "Anything that she can watch, she likes. Like giant swimming cats and tortoises, apparently."

"...I think I missed the giant swimming cats," Rosa said, after a moment. Quite possibly to make sure she either heard that right or hadn't actually just forgotten about them, both of which seemed completely plausible.

"It seemed to be with one of the students. It was just swimming around in the pool on the ship," Kitty said, casually. "Pretty sure the cat itself wasn't actually a student."

Now that she thought about it, Rosa did feel like she could vaguely recall one of the students in her summer class with Blackstone always having a giant cat with her.

Which was, you know, the sort of detail that most people didn't recall just vaguely.

"I bet the staff here is going to just love what that's going to do to the pool filters," Rosa noted.

And then wondered if this school had ever gone and taken a trip to the same place twice, because she could definitely see their groups being the sort that weren't often invited back....

"Maybe we should leave really big tips," Kitty suggested, frowning.

Re: Cerro Colorado Giant Tortoise Reserve

"Maybe," said Rosa, "if the tip is 'If you see Fandom High, just say no.' But, hey, at least there's no waterfalls for anyone to go down in barrels during this one."

Just...large cats in the pool, a sharkman who kept leaping off the side of the boat, and squirrels infesting the whole place.

To name a few.

Honesetly, though, this time around had been incredibly tame, it almost made Rosa a bit wary of the rest of the day.

"No, but the dean still ended up shot out of a cannon so we can't go thinking we're ever getting a fully normal trip," she said, scooping Lexi up before she could try to pull on the tortoise somehow.

"There was also something about him and a coconut bra in the radio notes this morning," Rosa said without even bothering mask her faint shudder. "But if it all wants to concentrate on him, I am completely fine with that."

"I'll keep bringing him tequila if he takes one for the team," Kitty reasoned.
