Our Last Day on San Salvador

We are reaching the end of our adventure; it's been quite a week and we've learned so much. The best part is surely the friendships we've formed between the teachers. We went into this from all parts of the country but already had much in common by our chosen professions. They are a great bunch and I will surely stay in touch and hope to see them again.

Brenda in Colorado--your kindergarteners ask such good questions! The ocean water is crystal clear and turquoise on the surface. The visibility is the BEST I have seen anywhere--100 feet most of the time. Yes, the colors change to a deeper blue as you go down. The marine life in the Bahamas includes a variety of sharks: hammerheads, sea turtles, grouper, damsel fish...actually there are too many to name with the short time I've got to use this computer.

A huge storm is whipping up this morning, so I don't believe that we're going to be able to work in the water today. Earthwatch takes no chances with their volunteers. So perhaps we will take a tour of the island. Although its only 60 square miles, there are still things to see like caves, saltwater lakes, the blue and black-footed booby.

There are others waiting for this internet connection, so I will have to postpone answering questions until later. I'll continue as soon as I am able.
