Year 2: Day 3 in the BVI
The day once again started off very early in the morning at 7 am. I slept through 6 of my alarms so thanks for my teammates/classmates for waking me up. The only difference with today's morning and yesterday's is that breakfast was at our house and the same food of fruit, cereal, fig bars, and bagels. After breakfast, I...
