I've Made It!!!

It wasn't easy getting here, there were several travel nightmares... but I've made it! What a beautiful place. On arrival, it was straight to work I had to learn to identify various types of coral so that I can help in the research, I had to get into the water to try out my snorkel gear for the first time, and I had to learn to surface dive (diving while in the water) deep enough to have a good look at all the coral we are trying to protect and care for. In the image you can see me and the team preparing to go diving to see how well we've learned the names of the various corals.

I really miss you boys and girls!!!! (You too Anthony & Bryce... even though you wouldn't hug me bye) Mr. D or Mr. Steen should be helping you all stay in touch with me, we are still working on talking to you via satellite phone and web cam, and as soon as everything is functioning I'll be in touch.

Questions to ponder:
What is coral?
What is a coral reef?
What do corals eat?
Why are corals important?

Feel free to ask me any questions you'd like and I'll do my best to answer them. You may post questions or answers to my questions on this blog.
I'll be in touch, once again I miss you, and can't wait to see you all again when I get back!

I love you ALL,
Ms. Taylor
