There are human settlements in the Galapagos, mainly sleepy Ecuadorian tourist towns with hotels, restaurants, souvenir shops, dive shops, and churches. Lots of churches. Which I thought was weird. They are sort of like forts in hostile territory.

If you die in the Galapagos, where do you go, heaven or hell? Yeah, yeah, I know what the correct answer is, you don’t go anywhere… your body is eaten by Galapagosian worms…and you return to the circle of life… and blah, blah, blah… but forget materialistic logic. I don’t care.  I’m going with heaven on this one.
