7/4

I'm spending this "Independence Day" away from the USA. Which isn't the worst experience ever. This morning was a solid 5-hour work time, after I slept in an extra hour. (hehehe so worth it I was exhausted) I got a lot of photos sorted and begun working on the powerpoint for the species identification project. Soon that will be all finished.

(Skip all the boring 5 hour rock-out work time and lunch which was awesome sliders as usual... I think they're one of my favorites with just the pickle and mustard and onion..... noms. Anyways.)

We went out again after lunch and swam with my awesome group, getting finished with our 5X5 random sampling activity in about 10 minutes, and then going over to the right side of the island by the corals and creeping around to kill time. I was still swimming for a bit more and I was able to swim with the school of baby fish again under the dock, as well as swim with these huge fish which I think are striped mullet... Still unsure...

It was an incredible experience! And as usual I got more glamour shots of the parrot fish because I will never get over them. (Sigh) 

Continuing on.

Now is more work time + rock-out time to finish for the night.
