Snorkeling!

We were awoken by the glorious sunrise as it twinkled off the early morning rainbow.



Because of our previous travel day, we were given the opportunity to sleep in, and many of us took advantage of this extra sleep. After a delicious breakfast we headed off into the vast ocean to experience the wonder of snorkeling!  We started off close to the school, witnessing shoals of snappers and a very stealthy stingray. For many of us it was our first time snorkeling, and it is an experience we will never forget. We transitioned into shallower waters after lunch, and explored the magnificent marvel that is the majestic mangrove. 


The mangroves provide an important ecosystem to the Bahamas, and are something many people take for granted. After this venture, we were able to go out on our own explore the school. Some of us checked out the Marina, while others took time to relax and plunge into the water once again. 


After a fantastic dinner of tasty tacos, we played games at the sustainable Hallig House, took our first nightly quiz, and eventually adjourned to our dorms to earn a well-deserved rest. 

Goodnight!
