  Hello!!! its Robin here and I would like to tell how many things in Ecuador cost one dollar. There are so many things in the market that cost exactly one dollar.  Me and my mom just went on a trip to the market to see all of the things that we could buy for exactly one dollar. This is what we found:   4 eggplants A lot of green beans About 13 peppers 6 maduros 11 small mangos 11 onions 1 large zucchini  A lot of tomatoes  7 peaches 40 limes! That means each lime costs 2.5 cents, Some cherries 10 maracuya  A bunch of parsley and cilantro 4 avocados  6 choclo (Ecuadorian corn) 14 carrots 6  cucumbers There are also a lot of other things that you can get for one dollar that is not fruit or vegetables.   Like… plastic junk, a bracelet, ten masks, 20 pages printed for you, jugo de coco, empanadas de viento,  and one high quality alfajor, the most delicious cookies on earth.

Galapagos Geology

  The Geology of the Galapagos By Sam Beesley The Galapagos islands consist of many different islands formed by volcanoes which were produced by the tectonic plate (nazca plateau) passing over a hot spot in the earth's mantle. A hot spot is when the earth’s crust gets really thin allowing magma from the mantle to rise and form volcanoes. Hawaii was also formed in this way.  The Galapagos islands are slowly moving eastward and diving below the sea when they hit the tectonic plate that formed the Andes mountains.  This means that the eastern islands (San Cristóbal and Española) are roughly five million years older than the western islands (Isabela and Fernandina) Which also means that there have been other islands that are currently either under the sea or in “Liquid hot Magma”. The volcanoes on the Galapagos islands are not constructed like most volcanoes. While most are more cone shaped, the volcanoes on the Galapagos have some of the widest tops in the world.

Mapping the Maze

to scale map of the main building of El Arenal, AKA Feria Libre             El Arenal is a big smelly market.   It is about 390 feet deep and 390 feet wide.   It’s smelly because there’s a lot of dead fish and butchers doing stuff with meat.        It is usually packed with people and has: fruit, ice cream, pork, beef, chicken, juice, burgers, salchipapas, vegetables, herbs, clothes, toys, grain, shoes, kitchen stuff, hardware, yarn, pets, barbers, and a lot more that i’m not gonna go into.         There’s fruit stall after fruit stall, and rows and rows of potatoes, a whole aisle dedicated to herbs, oh and there’s a quarter of the building that has shoes in it, but only two buildings that have toys in them!!!!!   The ice cream is usually just in vendors but I’ve seen it in stores too sometimes, in the aisle of herbs they rub the herbs onto people to give them good luck, only then do they give the herbs to them.         The toys mostly consist of pretend Chinese knives, pretend anime c
