[Annie would later tell me that the word Quito actually means equator in spanish, so all of the activities she did in this area, have to do with being on the equator. I don't think she recorded them in her journal, but some of them had to do with walking the line of the equator and feeling the strange differences in the body, putting a sink on one side of the equator and watching the water swirl one way and then switching the sink to the other side of the equator and watching the water swirl the other way. There were other activities as well.】
Day 13th July 20th 2023 Galapagos
We woke up early for our flight to the Galapagos. I worked on my species presentation about leaf cutter ants on the plane. When we got there we immediately got to experience the galapagos by looking at some sea lions, blue footed boobies, and marine iguanas on the way to lunch. After lunch, we went snorkeling in a lagoon where I saw giant turtles and many cool fish. A baby sealion was even swimming and playing right next to us. We then headed to another beach where Pat got chased by a sealion and it was very funny. We gave our presentations and I think I did really bad. Very excited to sleep.
