The class will visit the rugged seascapes of the Clare and Kerry coastlines, the lush hills of Kilkenny and Wicklow, and the bustling capital city of Dublin. Students will tour castles and abbeys, peer over the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher, experience traditional music, and meet with Irish scholars.

Sunday - Ecotourism


Today we began our explorations of Costa Rican ecotourism. Our day started bright and early with a 6:30 breakfast, and then we were off to the Monteverde Cloud Reserve Forest, where thanks to our excellent guides, Oscar and Ricardo, we were lucky enough to see the quetzal, a bird that lives no where else in the world except this one cloud forest. Can you spot it? Click on the photo to enlarge it, then look for a tiny emerald-colored spot just above and to the right of the approximate center of this photo.

    15 years ago I visited Monteverde and was lucky enough to see a quetzal. It was stunning - something I will always remember. So happy to know you saw this exquisite bird.
