Lectures are done!!

We had two fantastic days of lectures.  But no matter how much we learned, I think that there is no doubt everyone is very very eager to get started on our voyage.

Dr. Ball points out the finer details of the behavior and evolution of frigate birds.

We are just getting to know our students and our Alumni travelers. One of the best parts of the course is getting to know everyone and sharing this intense experience.

Attentive or barely awake... you be the judge.

We've talked about a very wide range of subjects, but focussed mainly on the amazing biology that occurs in Ecuador.  But our eyes will also be open to the unique cultural, historical, and political features of Ecuador.

Our official meeting point is at Mason Hall at 9:30 in the morning.  We won't arrive in Ecuador until over 12 hours later, but at least there won't be any jet lag since Quito is in the same time zone as Baltimore.
