09:30 This morning I cleaned the lab after saying goodbye to the OTS group. I returned to the El Comedor after watching a bunch of Coatis fighting in a tree. Now I am about to learn more Spanish and possibly get some help from the cooks which will be interesting and funny I feel.
22:30 Learning
Spanish never did get very far though as I managed to found a good chance to
show all the staff my photos from home/England and I think they found it pretty
exciting, interesting and funny. ML and I had
some more bonding time followed shortly by a walk to scope out the
distributions of both Siphonaria and Planaxid molluscs within the tidepool
area.
I then met a
couple of cool Canadian kids who also were out here with Lattitude Global
Volunteering and were accompanied by the return of DL. I actually just spent most the evening
relaxing with them and sharing our various experiences with one another e.g.
skiing, snowboarding and other travels. We walked out into the intertidal for a bit where we spotted an odd looking young pufferfish:

Another highlight
was easily the surprise bacon DL had brought along for us, the reason being I
had mentioned once that in a previous experience in the tropics the food was
pretty staple and basic so my friends and I got cravings for such delights at
the time. We then cooked up some cheese
toasties and had BLT’s on the beach with the sunset, how better to spend an
evening?
