We're now half way through out last week here in Honduras, and though we all have things we are very excited to see and do at home, we'll also be sad to leave. In the past few days, we've spent more time snorkeling (shocker), did another lovely hike, got one more dive in, and have been working on finishing up our projects.
Since we had another professor join us here recently, we decided to hike back to East End, the village on the other side of the island. The hike was once again very steep, both uphill and downhill, but very fun. Isabelle and I had a lovely time collecting palm fronds, stripping them down to a nice stick, and fighting/using them as hiking poles. A very good use of time indeed.
We also got to visit another beautiful island this afternoon, to get tanks for one last dive. The island we went to was home to the marine reserve's scientific station, and was very beautiful. We also finally saw a pink boa! It was super cute, slithering across the sand and climbing a palm tree.
Our final dive here in Honduras was another to the reef we've been snorkeling, and was a great way to finish off our string of dives. We saw an absolutely massive brain coral and 2 eels!
At the moment, everyone is scrambling to finish data analysis for their projects, which we're presenting to the group tomorrow. We're all definitely ready to be finished with them, though we still have to write our field reports. I know I'm looking forward to hearing about what everyone has been studying and what their findings are.
It's looking like our last few days here are going to be a bit calmer, a lot more chill to round out the trip. We're planning on snorkeling at Lion's Head tomorrow, and I'm definitely looking forward to photographing some stuff there.
