Turtles, Turtles, and More Turtles: Deluxe Edition

The day began similarly to yesterday in that we didn't have to wake up to the sound of a rooster. We then went back to the main building to have doughnuts that could have passed for tires. During breakfast, Dr. Gore came to give a presentation over turtles and the importance of the tagging. We then split into boat...

1. Why this class? I chose this class because I have always been very interested in Biology. Marine biology seemed like a very interesting way to learn more not only about biology but a more specific section of it. I have always loved the ocean and the creatures that live within it which is also another major reason. 2. Diving...

The First Day

Today was a pretty amazing day. I woke up early to the sound of roosters and dogs barking, but that had no impact on how the events of the day unfolded. After we were all up and had left the hotel, we went to a small room down by the ocean for breakfast and some class time. The information...

Too Much Blog, Not Enough Space!

So I guess this would be two days worth of blogging mushed into one, but remembering things is difficult. So we woke up yesterday morning, got all our stuff together and headed to the taxi which took us to breakfast at the marina. After a nice breakfast filled with basking in the sun and talking, we put our...

Two Days on the Water

I slept very well a couple nights ago, as I was exhausted from the turtle chasing. We woke up, got our gear ready, and met up with the group at the cattle guard. Glen, the taxi driver, then picked us up and took us to the marina where we had breakfast of banana bread and fruit. We then got...

Anyways my cabin and I were the last ones to get to the cattle guard, where everyone would meet. Then we went to breakfast and that was delicious, had some banana...

Day 2

I woke up today around 6:15 and sat on the porch listening to music. When it came time to meet at 7:30 at the Guava Berry entrance, I was already packed and ready for the day. After we met at the entrance, we went to the Internet lounge for breakfast which consisted of fruit, power bars, loafs of...

1) Why this class: I have always really liked marine biology. Every year I go up to Connecticut for vacation and have really just become fascinated with everything in the ocean. We always go to the aquarium and I've always enjoyed learning about all the unique adaptations and behavior marine animals and plants have. I was hoping to get a...

blog #3 (day 4)

After my forth day in paradise, I am still not used to the 7:30 AM wake up call. I quickly got up from my sleep to stop my alarm clock from ringing and began my journey to the Guavaberry internet cafe for breakfast. Once again, Casey supplied us with another delicious breakfast of donuts, cereal, and fruit. After breakfast,...
