Tide Pools!!

We played in tide pools for class today. I do that for fun and we got to do it for our lab today! I love it here.  We spent two hours at the rocky intertidal zone in Rhode Island exploring tide pools. Turning over rocks, looking for crabs, and sponges, and other fun creatures.  Earlier this week, we had half of history class on the Charles W. Morgan.  How many people get to have class on the last existing wooden whaling ship in the world?  


Soon enough we'll be heading out to California.  But there is quite a bit of work to wade through before then.  Only a marine policy paper proposal, and a marine ecology paper proposal, and a literature paper, and 60 pages of history reading. Really not that bad.  While it sounds like a lot of work, I love doing it because everything we do or read about or write about is something totally fascinating and something I didn't know about this maritime community.  It's amazing.  


Speaking of work, I should go do that...
