2012 Week 1

Today Cedar cabin was able to wake up at a solid 7:40 and eat a breakfast provided by our dive instructor Casey right at the Guavaberry Resort where our marine bio group is stating.

The start of the today was a really fulfilling experience. Today we woke up at 7 30 put our clothes on and walked down to the islands recreational park.

The common themes of today: bliss and lucky charms. From breakfast to dinner and everything in between, each activity was so satisfying and just an extreme joy to be a part of. The morning was peaceful, as finally nothing was in my room to wake me up! No roosters, no lizards, nothing! I woke up on my own terms and...
