Today we started out by heading to this guy's farm. His name was Giovanni. We learned about the endemic plants and also the threats that certain invasive species have been causing. We then pet their sweet kitty they're named Nugget. We headed off to go plant some endangered endemic plants that are related to daisies. I planted 4 and I need to find out in a few months how to check their status online. We then had these super spicy and endemic peppers and ate chicken with some of them. After some more lessons on climate change, we headed back to snorkel. I saw a very weird Stone fish and many parrot fish. After that we worked on our journals on the beach then went to get dinner. I was laughing so hard at the stories, but the fish didn't agree with me and I threw up. We then got ice cream after.
Day 15 July 22 2023 Galapagos Islands
Today we saw the giant tortoises of San Cristobal. We even got to see the baby ones. They are very cute. We then went to the beautiful beach where we got to swim in the giant waves. After lunch we went snorkeling in a new lagoon where I found many cool shells and saw a sea lion balance a rock on its nose. After that we did data collection for our research project. Pat and I counted sea lion vocalizations in male and female sea lions. Also my bed and my hotel room got stolen. Had a good day.
We got up early to go to a big rock on a boat in our wet suits. When we got there, it was pretty cold, but There were so many cool things. We even saw a black tipped shark and an eagle ray. We then took another ride to a small beach where I played with some Sea Lions. One more boat ride, but this time long and very Bumpy. Most people got sick, but I took a nice nap. We got to the dead coral beach where we went snorkeling and we saw many sea turtles and a baby octopus. When we got back we took a break and got some dinner in separate groups. I went with Pat to the very expensive and kind of bad place. We then had a lesson.
