So in case anyone was wondering, we didn’t catch any sting rays in our net :-( That’s probably a good thing since all 16 of us girls probably would have shrieked in fear if we did, lol. Well, it was a fun adventure nonetheless.
Yesterday we dove head first into our project work, and for the past 36 hours that has been my main focus. We set up two experiments with our Soldier crabs: one with varied water salinity and another with varied water temperature. Both have produced interesting results, and now we really just have to crunch some numbers in preparation for our presentation on Friday. FUN!
Today has been ridiculously beautiful! We were up before 6am to catch the low tide, and as the sun came up, we knew it was going to be glorious. After a couple hours of grueling research, I decided to take some “me time” and head to the beach to lay out under the Australia sun (no worries, I applied 30 spf beforehand). It was so serene—I just soaked it up and read a bit of Breaking Dawn (the 4th book in the Twilight series!) Ahhh, this is seriously the life.
I got some really cool pictures today too. For whatever reason my computer won’t upload them to facebook, so I’ll probably have to wait until I get back to the states. But I took some pictures doing field work so everyone can see my pretty little soldier crabs, and I also got a picture of a rainbow! This rainbow was HUGE…you could literally see from one side to the other. I’m surprised no one went in search for a pot of gold :-) Honestly, I think just being here in this country and on this island and with these awesome people is the best "pot o' gold" anyone would want to find.
