Galapagos

We spent the morning touring the central historic area of Quito.  We saw the five main churches and the differences in their architecture.  After a nice lunch in the main plaza we headed to the the highlands to visit one of Quito's 17 active volcanoes.  We ended the day with a trip to the equator line.  Students practiced walking the line with eyes closed (can't be done), experimented with the Coriolis Effect, and tried to balance an egg on a nail (it works!). Tonight is our last dinner in South America!  We are anxious to get home
