2013 Week 2

Today's morning began much less eventfully than yesterday's. We woke up around 6:45 to the sun shining through the windows. For breakfast, we ate at the resort's main building, and I had a peanut butter sandwich and banana nut bread. After breakfast, we walked to what are called 'the baths'. Along the quarter mile path leading from the...

After waking up at 7:00 A.M and an awesome breakfast, we heated over to the baths. These are huge basalt rocks which were formed millions of years ago by lava that seeped through cracks in the earth. As we climbed through the cracks, we saw xenoliths which were rocks that froze in the lava while it...

Day3 Our day began with an uproarious buzzing of an alarm clock. We exited the loft at around 7:20 to be at the Commissary at 8 for a breakfast of Loops of the fruity persuasion. Then Casey debriefed us for the day and introduced us to Mem and the innkeepers. Glenn then took us to the Baths and we...

I awoke this morning to the harsh sting of my roommate's hand slapping my leg. I quickly shit up from my sleep, because I knew I must have slept through the night like a rock. Soon after my roommates, Garrett Buckley and Chris Ayres and I went to the cattle guard meeting spot at the foot of the hill....

Today, we woke up, excited to go snorkeling and diving in the BVI. Everybody in my cabin woke up late, at a reasonable 7:30 AM, with Mr. Kirby telling us to get up. We are scurried to get our stuff together for another eventful day of adventure in the ocean. We met at the cattle guard, and walked...

After playing a couple card games last night we all went to bed. The wake up call this morning was a little too early after a day of diving but everyone was ready to start the day in the baths. The baths, an area of broken apart rocks that form caverns, were beautiful with plenty of fish swimming everywhere...

I woke up today exhausted from the previous day of diving. I fought the temptation to lay back in bed and got dressed and packed up for the day. Then, with the rest of my cabin, I walked to the cattle guard to meet up with the rest of the group. Once we all got gathered we went to...

This morning started off very similar to yesterday because we were woken up by a rooster and around 5:45. I got up and made some of the instant coffee that was being sold in the small convenient store (this store runs on the honor code and at the end of the trip you have to pay for everything that...

Today was another fantastic day! I woke up at around 7:20 this morning, which was nice. I guess I am progressively adapting to the warm, humid environment. We came down to the cattle guard and then went over to the Internet cafe to grab breakfast. For breakfast I had Pops, banana bread (which was like cake), yogurt, and a...
