Aventuras en Puerto Rico!

Friday morning, Greg and I watched pollinators for three hours at the top of the hill. That afternoon, the whole group split up and we learned about  EIDs (emergent infectious diseases). My group learned about  Lyme disease in Connecticut. After that, the food didn’t come and we had to rush to the bioluminescent bay, which was incredible! We walked around the park and saw the lighthouse and then we went to the bay and swirled sticks in the water to get it to light up it was pretty awesome. Our guide told us that the glowing of the dinoflagellants in the water is a form of altruism and protection against predators b/c if an animal eats them, then they start glowing and attract other predators. That was pretty cool. Yesterday, Greg and I watched pollinators in the morning and again in the afternoon - dinner, LOST, P90X, and more LOST. Today, I got to sleep in and breakfast isn't here yet, :( More pollinators and then part of our powerpoint is due. No biggy. Elegance is making ribs tonight and our beach trip for today is postponed until Tuesday or Wednesday.
