Hey yall!!!!!!!!!  I can't believe we're going home!! I'm kinda sad, but very excited.  My favorite part of the trip was the sports-definately. My favorite animal was the red footed booby of the penguin. I can't decide. I loved the beaches and the water. See ya later people. Peace!

I'm going to miss the blue and red footed boobbies. I wanted to take one home, but the guide said no. He pulled it away and my eyes teared up. It's going to be a long ride home:(

Charels Darwin

Hey it's Tiffany. I was wandering around in a museum, looking for the restrooms. I took a wrong turn and went into a dark room with an old painting. The sign read: CHARLES DARWIN 1809 - 1882. I wanted to firgure out who "Charles Darwin" was. And then, the painting started to talk!!! It sounded fake, but it was real! He said "Hello, Lassie! Why, I'll tell you about my life!"  That was really scary, but I went along with it. "So,wend did you die?" I asked out of hesitation. "Well, honey, can you read?" He said. "1882, of course! That is what it says on the name plate!" I felt stupid, but I asked more questions. "Well, I died in England. Does that answer  your question?" He interupted me before I could ask him another question. I said "Sure" and went on with the question asking. I found out that he wrote the book on the Orgin of Species and he graduated from the University of Edinburgh. He's also a scientist in the Galapagos Islands.

Tourist Attraction

 Hey it's Kaylyn.  Today we decided to look at some attractions in the Galapagos Islands.  As you know we're stranded.  Here's a map of where the top 10 attractions are.

We saw many interesting animals.  Some were cute and some were

scary.  Here's some pictures.



The Blue Footed-Booby has

a cousin!









Tiffany LOVES the iguauna.  I think it looks like Jimmy Neutron.

          P.S.           Kristen thinks the Red Footed Booby is cuter than the blue.  The feet rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





























Creatures

Hey, it's Tiffany! We made freinds with the fruit vendor, Carlos. He's really nice. He mentioned a museum about a mile away, so we went. In the back, they had a zoo! Some of the animals I hadn't even heard of! Later on, we went to the penguin habitat. Our guide gave us a paper about the endangered animal:
                                                          HELP THE PENGUIN!!!
Did you know that the Galapagos penguins are endangered.  This is the third smallest species.  In 2004 there were 1,500 penguins.  Ninety percent of the penguins live on the western islands.  One of the reasons they are endangered is because of the many predetors- crabbs, snakes, owls, hawks, sharks, fur seals, and sea lions.  They have an unreliable food source.  Also, Illegal fishermen inturupt their nest and catch them in fishing nets.  Dogs, cats, and rats also disturb their nests.

First Day Stranded

Hey,it's Kristen, Kaylyn, and Tiffany. We have just arrived at the Galapagos Islands. Kaylyn said that she's super exited and ready to learn. I say that I'm not exited because it's going to rain, and Tiffany said that she just spotted a blue footed-booby. She hopes it's freindly! Here's some pics she snapped.

  
We decided to take a walk on the beach and saw a fruit stand! Here's a picture. 

We wanted some basic information, but the fruit vendor gave us more. One of the things he told us was that the Europeans dicovered these islands. Also, it was formed by a volcano. We didn't even know where we were, since the plane crashed. The islands are east of  the pacific and close to South America. He also mentioned that there were about 40,000 people! We're planning to travel to the fifteen main islands and the 3 smaller ones. Well, it's time to do Kaylyn's suggestion- explore. I kind of want to see the blue footed-booby again so, see ya!
