Today I woke up at 5:30 and went down to watch the sunrise on the dock.
For breakfast I had fresh cut mango, pineapple, and watermelon with breakfast
tacos with eggs and beans. It tastes so good and healthy too. After, I got
ready to go out snorkeling. Today we took tons of pictures of everything we
thought was interesting. This is my favorite picture I took today of a sponge!
After about four hours, the bell rang that lunch was ready. We had chicken rice and salad.
It was so good! Then we got working on our identification work. I started a Google document
of every single picture I took with the scientific name and a few facts about each organism.
Afterwards we went on a hike around the north side of the island. It was so beautiful.The trail led to these huge rocks with tidal pools with hermit crabs all over.
Here is me on the huge rock!
On our hike, we also found a cashew tree. We grabbed a few to roast out in the sun and try
to eat them later this week. When we got back, we opened up some fresh coconuts for us to
drink and eat the insides. Besides the consistency, it tasted so good!We ate fresh empanadas for dinner and then presented our identification documents to share
all the photos that we took and the research that we did on them. At the end of the day we went
out on the deck and shined flashlights into the water. We were able to see a
Spotted Eagle ray dart through the water! I can’t wait to get started on my research project
especially now that I have been here and explored so many areas of the reef!
