Week 3 update

Becky and I kayaking in Sarasota Bay, behind us is the road to Mote. The other picture is me and Sarah-Jane at Chilis.


Hi everyone!
I just had a brilliant idea to start a blog to keep up with everyone while I'm across the country. I'm sure that only a few people will be interested in my updates but whatever. Here goes:

Today was a slow Sunday. I was woken up at like 9am by the two dogs, Henry and Juma, pulling down my bedroom doorway curtains. So much for sleeping in! haha. Pretty much all I did today was lounge around the house and help make beer. By help, I mean I put out mini pretzels for a snack. We watched the Lakers-Magic game as well.

Yesterday, I went to the beach with Becky, Chelsey and Sarah-Jane. They are other interns, Sarah-Jane is from Georgia and works with the turtle research hospital. Becky is another education intern and she is from St. Louis. Chelsey is also an education intern and she is from Eden Prairie, Minnesota (where Monica Spicher moved to). We laid out and swam (swam being a relative term here as the water is about chin deep(ish). Then we treated ourselves to dinner at chilis. It was a nice day.

Friday was the last day of the first week of camp and it was a pretty easy day. I was camp lifeguard for snorkeling so for about 2 hours I guarded the 2' deep water-complete with a rescue tube, what a joke! After the campers left, we all got to go kayaking, which was super fun! That night Ryan brought me with him to his friend's house to watch the Detroit-Pittsburg stanley cup finals game.

Also, a number of sea turtle nests were poached this week. Sad. But, Ryan and Jess made the news: Jess is in the picture and Ryan is quoted in the article. It was on the front page of Friday's paper.

I also made the paper, well the Longboat observor, a much smaller deal. I helped out last weekend at world oceans' day and Tim came in on Monday with a picture of me in the newspaper.
