Today started off with lab work in the morning, and we (the awesome fish group) got all of our salt water fish samples done. However, the lizard folks seemed pretty bummed about the info they were getting... but lunch hit so no worries for an hour.
Joe and Kelly were feeling so good about the fish groups progress that they decided to go kayaking around the island, and Shi Hao and I followed. After a little trip in the mangroves off shore we decided to try to get to Monkey Island, which can be seen directly out front of our dorm. We only made it about half-way before we decided to turn back, but we vowed to try it again another day.
Back to the lab, and the fish group made real progress before dinner, getting our fresh water fish samples, all our lactate readings, and getting about half way done with LDH testing. Half the lizard people were having a hard time with their force meter, so Pete had to fix it. The other half were running anoles along a track and have loads of fun looking at tiny pictures of toe pads (sarcasm). Some of the people got to go on a grocery trip and saw key deer along the way--they're about the size of a medium sized dog.
Chiara and Marlene made a wonderful Italian dinner! It was seasoned chicken, pasta with home-made tomato sauce, and bruchetta with a surprise desert of milky way rice crispy treats :D We were all very excited about the whole dinner but especially desert. Then Dr. Londraville taught Lauren and Chiara how to play ukulele.
Going back to the lab, we realized that we can't put the salt water fish samples back in the freezer so we have to do all of our experiments tonight... we were wanting to break early and watch Pirates of the Caribbean, but oh well. As for the lizard group, I think most of them are doing well except for some bumps. Steph summed up her attitude with "Thank you for listening to this edition of not letting me explode in someone's face."
