first 3 days on the island

Landed in Roatan on Sunday, July 5th, and it was so beautiful. Super humid, but getting out of the airport wasn't so bad. We then took a bus to where the boat docks are to take us to the island, and the ride to the island was insane. Because it was super windy, the waves were crazy, and we were literally rocking side to side for 2 HOURS AND 30 MINUTES. Heard Dr. Moscosso and Morgan throw up, and I literally couldn't watch or hear them without wanting to throw up myself. But we made it to the island, and I didn't throw up!! 

Next day, we woke up at 5am to head to Lion's Head, the northwest side of the island, to snorkel. Literally the most magical place I've ever been to. The corals and fish were insane; it reminded me of Finding Nemo. So many sea fans and sponges, and I saw my favorite fish!! Blue tangs!! 10/10 

Day 3 was a hiking day to the Comunidad Garifuna on the east end. I genuinely cannot feel my legs, and my thighs are burning so badly, so if my legs/thighs aren't sculpted by the end of this trip, I'm going to be upset. We took the jungle route to get to the east end and had a guide dog walk with us, and he was too cute. The community and its people were so nice to us! 

We're about to go to lecture now, and then I have to swim with Morgan and Dr. Wassink to hammer down some PVC pipes to the reef floor for our research project we're doing on Duskies and Gobies. Successful 3 days here :) (minus the mosquito bites all over my legs)
