Slayton, Nicholas Today, we ate breakfast at Alamander house, and because I wasn't that hungry, I didn't eat much.

The fifth day of our riveting Caribbean expedition began at the Alamander house for breakfast. The occupants of the house did a commendable job of serving breakfast, despite not having been provided with essential supplies such as cups and trash bags.

The flash backs of last years amazing trip came to mind as our house rooster woke us up. After having our normal breakfast plus eggs that the teachers had made, we headed down to the harbor.

Here we were tasked with the goal of trying to capture and identify the most amazing invertebrates...

Today was the last day in the water. However, I have plenty to tell since we spent most of the day in it. This morning it was our cabin's turn to serve breakfast, so I woke up around 7:00 to set things up. Luckily, the breakfast went over pretty smoothly. At 8:30 we headed out to the docks for a long...
