Hi Everyone! I'm so glad to hear from so many of you! I miss you! We arrived in Quito, Ecuador late last night and I'm off to the Galapagos today. Internet access has been hit or miss, so I haven't been able to upload much, but I should be able to later. Check out these links to find out more:
Mr. Lombardo's site (click on Galapagos-- Mr. Lombardo is another teacher on this trip and he has a GPS tracker with him!)
Toyota Teacher site (lots of information on this site. Other teachers have pages. Mine is currently empty, but other teachers have information you can look at. Plus there is another blog from a journalist who writes for www.treehugger.com)
Also, you can check out Mr. Grymonpre's site for all kinds of Galapagos info!
I can't wait to hear more from you and to send you pictures and info! By the way, when you comment, if you could use standard English, it will be easier for me and other adults to understand what you are saying. :)

Hi Heather! I hope you're enjoying everything. We've been watching clips of the Galapagos in class, and the kids have laughed at the strange albatross' mating ritual with beak-tapping and squaking. Some students are concerned because we learned about all of the volcanoes (and the earthquakes that go with them). We're hoping you don't get earthquaked or volcanoed while you're there.
One point in the video we haven't reached yet talks about human impact, such as the goats early settlers brought over that are currently being shot so they don't eat all of the giant tortoises' food.
Happy Thanksgiving!
