In association with the e7 Network, SolarQuest® is installing solar-powered internet connections at schools in the Galápagos islands. As students install equipment, they learn about energy and technology with direct hands-on experience.

Photos by Kal Guayaquil 1 and 2 Quito San Cristobal 1 San Cristobal 2 San Cristobal 3 San Cristobal 4 San Cristobal 5 Guayaquil 2 Fly Home	Birds and scenery as well as people we worked with and the server we installed. There is a botanical garden in Guayaquil that we got to too late for good photos of most things, and that huge river alongside. The birds with blue feet are called Blue Footed Boobies, and there is one with a couple of Red Footed Boobies as well. The big black birds are Frigate Birds, the ones in Guayaquil are unknown. The guy with the tie in Guayaquil is a street corner preacher. On the way home there are the tops of some mountains peeking thru the clouds (we were at 28,000 feet), a few of Cuba from the air, and then Miami.
