So yesterday I went to the Galápagos Islands. Well, not really ... I was sitting in my kitchen with my laptop, attending my (first-ever) Webinar that just made it feel like I was there. Fantastic! I captured a few screen shots:

Naturalists from National Geographic Expeditions hosted a one-hour Galápagos Webinar (a live online seminar) to discuss the Islands and the incredible creatures that inhabit them. Of course, it was a sales pitch too (for their tours), but I loved it all. Good planning info ... for this "someday" dream eco-trip.

And if you're interested, NGE will be hosting more (free) Webinars soon ... next is Costa Rica on November 9, and then Alaska on December 1. I'll be "attending"!

Want to join me?

October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month

Are you looking for a new furry friend? If so, it's October ... and it's Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month!

Please consider adopting from your local animal shelter. By opening your heart and your home to a precious, lonely, homeless dog, you'll be rewarded with a companion who will be forever thankful and loving.


Thank you,

it's Sarah's special day!
