Yay!!!! We finally made it to the Mote Marine Laboratory in Summerland Key in Key West (which is, by the way, the most southern point of the USA) after 22 hours of driving. The weather is amazing and the island is beautiful. Today we got settled into our dorms and while doing so, we found termites infested in one of the girls' bunks. It was our first insect experience! We later practiced snorkeling and went grocery shopping and Dr. Niewarski cooked dinner for us tonight. It was delicious pasta and sausage with salad. We witnessed a huge iguana who became our friend through ukulele serenade. (thanks to Dr. Londraville). You can view the picture of him below. We named him Grandpa Steven Ralph Iguana. We are really excited to go snorkeling tomorrow morning. We are going to take a boat to the coral reef and spend a couple hours there. Then we are going to get our research projects started.
