   Hugo Idrovo, famous Ecuadorian
musician, who now lives on San Cristobal with his family is working to
bring some world music and culture to this small island.
He gave up the fast life of the
music world in Quito for the laid back pace of Puerto Baquerizo
Moreno.
   Rafa Roman, a Spanish Graphic
Designer, has just moved here to work for the Spanish governments development
assistance program. Their projects have included building the interpretation
centre and a new giant tortoise breeding sanctuary with the locally funded
agencies.

Warbler
The Marine Iguanas consume so much salt water when they feed
that they are constantly sneezing a mist
of salty snot (all over each other ) to excrete the excess salt.
 
 The wildlife is as varied as the
landscape
Next stop Santa Cruz (only 40
miles!)
