CR to Quito




We just wrapped up a very busy two week orientation for the students. Highlights included a rain forest hike that ended in jumping off a waterfall and into a pool, as well as surfing (I got up a couple of times), a mangrove kayak, and snorkeling. We also found time to teach a seminar series on development and a few team building activities.

We flew into Ecuador yesterday. We'll spend a few days in Quito, then go to the project site in Bua, which is on the Pacific coast. We'll be doing a re-forestation project for four weeks with the Tsa'chila people, an indigenous tribe. I'll be co-teaching a new seminar series on natural resources and the environment.

That's all for now!
