Day 27 - Our Final Farewell

Unfortunately, the day has come. This morning we flew out of Santa Cruz and came back to mainland Ecuador. Tomorrow we have a full day of travel and we will arrive back in the States around midnight. So, sadly, we thought this would be a good time to sign off.

This adventure has been the trip of a lifetime and has allowed us to experience so many new opportunities that we never thought were possible. All of us have thoroughly enjoyed sharing our adventures and knowledge we have gained on this trip with all of you. Thank you to all the family members and friends who made this trip possible, we cannot express our gratitude enough!

Additionally, we wanted to thank Dr. Muehlenbein for being an amazing professor and for organizing this whole experience. This was actually the first time this specific study abroad trip was conducted. So--in a way--we were the test subjects to see how smoothly the trip would run. Thanks to Dr. M's careful planning, the trip went wonderfully and we could not have asked for a better mentor and researcher to work with! 

We are all very sentimental about leaving and already miss the beautiful islands. However, we are excited to come home and tell all of you even more about the trip!

- Sarah and Grace 👋

Day 1

                  Howdy y'all, it is Diego and Cole. We just finished our first day in Ecuador, and had a great time being introduced to the culture of USFQ. We started the day by touring the beautiful campus. We learned a lot about the history of the University, and were able to see some unique attractions, such as the dragon, the tie fighter, and the PIG. The culinary school cooked up some lunch for us. It was hard to believe the amount of amazing food they had on campus. The class refreshed their knowledge on Spanish with the help of Dr. Karla. An interesting topic we learned was the Kichwa language that is native to Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru. After Spanish we crushed the One Health Ecuadorian Perspective class with Dr. Trueba. He lectured about the pathogens of nature, the dangers they cause, and how human activity amplifies them both directly and indirectly. To end the day we had a group dinner at Noe Sushi Bar, which had some incredible rolls and sashimi. Overall very succe

Day 12 - We Love Boobies

Image
Dr. M wanted us to switch up the blog, so today's post is dedicated to the one and only blue-footed boobies. One of our favorite animals to see here in the Galápagos are the boobies. They are native to the islands, but not endemic. This means you can also find these birds throughout the Gulf of California, down to Peru. However, some of the species on the island are endemic, meaning they are only found on the islands. Yesterday, when we visited Isla Lobos, we saw so many blue-footed boobies and their babies. The chicks are super fluffy and white. We were surprised to see that the babies did not yet have their blue feet. Our tour guide informed us that their feet will turn blue once they can fish on their own and eat a consistent diet of fish. This change is coincident with their sexual maturity. We even saw a dad boobie sitting on an egg, keeping it warm (see if you can find it in the picture!) This morning as we were taking surveys, we were mesmerized by the boobies as they dove i

Day 26 - Final Excursion:(:

Image
Hey everyone! Marielle and Tyler here with our final excursion blog (sad face)  Today we left the hotel around 9 AM to visit Los Gemelos and El Chato Ranch. The Gemelos are two giant sink holes formed by the collapse of volcanic chambers. They are filled with tons of greenery and vegetation, along with a variety of bird species. Sometimes, you can see the Vermillion Flycatcher - a bright, red, finch-like bird. However, they are endangered due to introduced species, such as feral cats.  Our next stop was El Chato Ranch, which is a tortoise farm, where the Galapagos Tortoises roam free in the lush greens, grazing along, and taking things one slow step at a time. The ranch is also home to many cattle, along with cattle egrets! It was so interesting watching these creatures live together peacefully. As we took a stroll through the farm, we took many pictures of the dome shaped giants, while making sure to avoid stepping in tortoise poo. We were also able to witness the underground lava cav
