More Earth Tourism, Tuesday
Lana met them all at Portalocity and nodded to everyone. "Before we start, let's get out of this heat." Not that Portalocity itself was hot, but it was the principle of the thing.
Their portal dropped them off on Easter Island. Which was 68F/20C with just a few scattered clouds. You're welcome.
"Today we're visiting Easter Island. Or I believe the current natives call it Rapa Nui; there seems to be some dispute, but let's go with their version. It's one of this planet's most isolated inhabited islands. Its closest neighbour is around 1,200 kilometers to the west, and it's got less than a hundred inhabitants. It's a volcanic island, part of an underwater mountain range, and is most known as the location of giant statues called moai. They were apparently originally thought to only be heads, but excavations have shown that they actually do have bodies."
She led the way over a hill to view some of them. "This is Ahu Tongariki. We'll be spending some time here, then heading over to Orongo village so we can see petroglyphs." Because she was a nerd.
"Oh! And in case I or someone else doesn't know you, please introduce yourself by name and where you're from."

Re: Introductions!
Like you, last class.
Re: Introductions!
Look, that joke worked on three separate levels. She was very proud of it.
