After a successful stay in the Houston Airport, students were able to work on their Oli for Hōkūleʻa and to share with folks in the Galápagos. They were also able to continue thinking about their projects, while having some fun and catching up on some much needed sleep.
On the flight to Quito, a biologist on her way to the Galápagos, was explaining some of her research on invasive species control, specifically introduced flies whose larva are killing the Darwin Finch chicks, to some of our students. We were also informed about a scientific conference happening there that we may be able to participate in, how fortunate!
We have safely arrived in Quito and cleared customs into Ecuador and now trying to get a quick cat-nap at the airport before the next leg of our journey to Puerto Ayora. Good job gang staying together and pushing through this 38-hour travel day!
Yeah, I think folks are tired!! :)
Sleep is a good thing!
