last day here

It is difficult to get my head around being in Oakland, CA in less than 48 hours. I have had such a "rock my world "experience it is difficult to put into words. I am excited about seeing those sweet faces (yep!! really!!!) and explaining to them what I did and what we found. I want everyone to understand the mission John is on...taking vacation time to continue this important research! I want to thank Earthwatch for an opportunity unlike anything i have ever done. And I want to thank Park Day School for being so supportive. I am sure a few of you were rooting for the shark, eh?

I am hoping to share my photos with school, community and friends along with tales galore. By the time I really got my bearings, and felt comfortable identifying all the species it was time to leave. I would love to return at some point and help out again...see what has changed and what hasn't . Let me know if I go on too much about the last week. see you-all soon...kareng
