Corals and Castles

Today we spent the majority of the day writing a six page paper on one of the three experiments we've done so far. I picked the least complicated one we've done and managed to finish around 2:00 while everyone else was freaking out until 6 or later. My roommate finished around four so she and I went into town on the bus. We put on our pretty dresses and started walking to the bus stop. We got a little lost which must have been obvious because some guy in a truck stopped and asked if we were looking for the bus stop. Most of the shops were closed but we found a ship that they charge people to play on.
Then we passed some old cannons that wanted you to know that you must swim at your own risk,
We found some stocks that are apparently there for your entertainment. I think this is where the cruise ships let off.
We were walking around town and I found an old abandoned building. It had a two story fireplace on both sides.
Further up the street we found part of the national trust, an "unfinished church"

It was pretty neat. While we were in town I managed to buy a rum cake and a bottle of Bermuda rum. We caught a bus back to BIOS in time for dinner. After we ate Ashley wanted to go down to the cement beach to look for a sea hare since she missed the first one. Everything worked out well and I found another one for her. It was sitting out of the water which is very unusual. It's not the same one we found the other day because it was much smaller.
We also took some pictures in our cute dresses while the sun was setting.
After dinner we learned about coral reef fish and their behavior. Tomorrow we're doing a reef fish study. It should be an interesting day. After all the work was complete we went to the Passing Wind and had a few drinks before bed. I taught some of the Brits how to play Cricket (darts) and we all had a good time. What a great trip so far!
