Day 8
Location: Galapagos, Galápagos, Bartolomé
Today began very early. We ate breakfast and got to the airport at around 6:45. There was a short 30 minute flight to the coast, then 2 hours to Galapagos. We had to zip tie all of our bags shut because of the drug smuggling problem. At the airport on Baltra, we met our guide Juan Carlos, who took us to The Nemo II, a 60 foot sailing catamaran. It’s really nice. The crew welcomed us with cocktails before dinner. We all introduced ourselves, and met everyone on board. After dinner, we played a few rounds of Mao, and then sailed southwest for 2 very rocky hours.

Today began bright and early with out first dive. To get in the water, we have to take a boat out a to the site and then fall off the side. I’ve seen it done in movies, but have never done it before. It was a little scary the first time, but I then concluded it is the]]> Thu, 10 Jul 2008 13:23:56 +0000 mod FrontPage http://iagalapagos.pbwiki.com/FrontPage email.hidden@example.com (Julian Fiander) Julian Fiander edited FrontPage with indigenous people, and investigate the biodiversity of the region.

exciting afternoon. afternoon. Our next stop was the Equator! We took some pretty interesting pictures.
After Otavalo, we met Mariana for a very nice dinner in Quito. While eating, I saw a clown on the balcony of the other side of the court. No one believed me because by the time they looked, he was gone. A few minutes later, I saw him again. This time, people were quick to look up. The third time he appeared, we pointed him out to Lori. He waved us over to see a very entertaining show. We stayed at the Hotel for the night, and slept soundly.

This morning started off as a rough one with the power going out sometime in the night the alarms didnt go off so Toby woke me up for his breakfast and Mom and I had a a moment of panic but I made it!



Monday 16 June 2008


This morning we woke up bright and early and got ready, only to find out there is no daylight savings time so we were ready an hour early.  After going and eating a lovely contenental breakfast we began our lovely "8 hour" bus ride into the Amazon, that ended up being our 12 hour bus ride.  During this bus ride at the very begining we met Peter and picked up Andreas who's mom worked for SELVA and because of his good grades he was accompanying us on the Rainforest part of the trip.&nb

bird watching. watching and pirana fishing. We saw a toucan and some fresh water pink river dolphins. When we returned, we ate breakfast and then played with the resident monkey. He is a cute little guy who loves to wrap his tale around your neck and hug you. Afterwards, D’leo lead us on a hike and pointed out some medicinal plants. It’s amazing that both Shamen took us on walks, and showed us completely different things. Mr. E stayed behind due to a foot injury, and when we returned D’leo treated him. He has been perfectly fine ever since. Before lunch, we all sat down and D’leo talked to us about why we are here and what we can do to help protect his culture. Towards the end, a group of tourists randomly walked up the dock and made themselves at home. D’leo stopped, and walked away, saying he did not with to speak to anyone outside our group.

Along the way, Lori pointed out Eucalyptus trees that were introduced by a past president and are killing off native plants and animals. She also told us the economy is not getting any better because the new president is making so many changes and the public doesn’t trust him yet. But his term is almost half over! How much time is he going to have left after he gains their trust? Mr. E pointed out the economic strain takes efforts away from eco-conservation. So, this is the crazy vicious circle that the country is trapped in, and we are trying to stop. This is a lot more complex than I thought.
Along the way, we made a few stops. First, at a gas station. We were required to buy chocolate to help with altitude sickness (Not complaining). Here, we also picked up Andres, a local 12 year old boy who is coming with us to celebrate his recent good grades. Our second stop was Cascada San Rafael. It was beautiful.

was a little scary to the first time, but I then concluded it is the best was to enter. I had a very hard time equalizing as I went down, and the dive master apparently took that to mean I needed to hold his hand. Once I was ok, I became rather annoyed. After about half the dive, he handed me off to Mr. Lyons, who held my hand for a little while, then became confused as to why he was, and let me go. It wasn’t a very exciting dive. We saw a lot of starfish, but that was pretty much it. Pinnacle Rock was our snorkeling site after breakfast. I saw an amazing number of fish, a penguin, and a sea lion. Our next dive was Cousin’s Rock. It was almost as if there were steps down to the ocean floor. We saw a sleeping sea horse, and then swam into a huge black cloud that turned out to be a school of fish. At one point, we were surrounded by]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 23:31:24 +0000 mod Julian Fiander http://iagalapagos.pbwiki.com/Julian+Fiander no.email.given@example.com (Emily Wagner) Emily Wagner edited Julian Fiander Julian's Journal
