Once upon a time, on an island far, far away a group of Wittenberg students woke up to cloudy skies. Our group split up once again to continue gathering data. One group, studying land crabs, remained at the field station while another group doing intertidal work was dropped off at Bonefish Bay. The remaining people who needed to snorkel the reefs to collect information traveled on to Monument.

Stormy Weather Makes for Great Pictures Not Truck Rides
After lunch the bugs came out in droves and all the students took on various task of studying, working on research projects, or working on presentation projects. Other people took time out to nap, play cards, or just generally stare off into space contemplating our next bug bite 
After all the rain today we are all glad to be indoors.

After dinner we stood in line, again, for some email time. After being disappointed that our families didn’t email us back (hint hint) we were off to take our next exam! It seems to be mixed feelings on how well we all did but I am sure we did fine. Now we are sitting here writing this blog, scratching bug bites (sorry KR), and dreaming of braving the bugs for some much needed ice cream…
Till next time,
Kathi and Jen signing off
P.S. We didn’t have a lot of good photos from today so we picked one of us from our wall snorkel yesterday

YOU HAVE MAIL TOOOOOOO
Great pictures. Looks like the girls are flying kites. Hope the research design is starting to work for you. Hope the bug spray is not running out. Alyssa is all packed and leaves today. She seems excited but a little nervous. Unfortunately she forgot her retainer at NU and we are waiting for fedex(hopefully) to deliver. Supposed to rain all weekend, so you’re not really missing much here. Seems hard to believe you guys have been gone 16 days with a week to go. Get all the data you can because there sure won’t be any of those little creatures here when you get back unless you slip them in your suitcase.
Stephanie,
You must have been worn out to fall asleep in a chair like a pretzel! Glad to hear you are making use of the dive certification. Have fun on the boat dive Sunday. I assume that will be a more advanced technical dive , reaching new depths!
Nicholas has already been water skiing and the Walleye are biting in Lake Erie, If you aren’t too waterlogged when you retuirn we will have to drag you around on the tube. There won’t be any Feather Duster Worms to tease but at least the water isn’t salty!
Have a great final week on your adventure. Can’t wait for the stories.
Love, Dad.
Jonny,
Looks like you are having a great time. The blogs and photos are great. In case you didn’t hear, Justin Rose won the Memorial at 18 under and Ricky Fowler came in 2nd at 15 under. Ricky was tied at 16 under until he put his tee shot in the water on #12. He couldn’t recover after that double bogey. Mom and I are playing in a couples scramble tonight with Dr. Jake and his wife. Everything is fine here. Typical drama at the office soap opera. Later.
Love,
Mom and Dad
Hey girls, Sorry about no mail didn’t realize you could get e-mail. Glad everyone got back before the storm, that is what we are expecting her for several days, maybe another adventure in Grandma’s cellar lol. Everyone here misses you guys and loves you very much. Jenni shouldn’t be any problem to get your car back to you that weekend. The girls are enjoying looking at all the pictures. They said to tell you Hi and send you hugs and kisses. Be careful and hope to see you soon. You really need to come meet Sara, we got really lucky that they called us about her, she is a sweetie.
Love,
Jane
Sarah,

William,
You are experiencing so many things that will make great and lasting memories. We love reading the blog entries. We can hardly wait to hear the great stories about this class and your time at San Salvador. The pictures are great, as always.
Good luck on all of your research and projects.
Uncle Felix and Aunt Brenda, Junior, Felicia, Breanna, and Granny send a BIG Alabama hello.
Aunt Lucille and Uncle Raymond send their love and are waiting to hear about your class and the trip.
Take care. We love you much.
Mom and Dad
P.S. Alyssa made it to Spain early this morning. We will see her in about 3 weeks.
SORRY FOR NOT WRITTING BUT I STILL DON’T PITTY YOU! ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING ALL OF THOSE PICS!!! WISH I WAS THERE!! BUG BITES AND ALL!
Emily,
Wow, such adventures! The hammerhead shark looks so menacing – yikes, I thought that was scary. Very cool! We are all missing you and were so glad to see the nice picture of you and your classmates happily doing your projects – keep up the good work. It is Kendall’s grad party today and I think maybe only your Dad is going to make it. Miranda says she is going to study – ha! and I will go to a bbq for Lisa Bardy’s 50th. Can’t wait to see you next weekend.
Love,
mom
I have gotten spoiled by you all sending blogs and pictures so on days when there arent any, I find myself at the computer, checking, checking, checking at all hours. I know it is hard to get the internet there and you all are very busy with your tests, presentations, research, and classwork. The picture of the Hammerhead Shark was awesome. All the pictures and blogs are great. It is hard to believe it is only a week away for your return to humid, storm ridden, Ohio. No hammerheads here, unless you go to Sea World or possibly the zoo. Enjoy your time there, Study and soak up that knowledge, and good luck on your tests and presentations today. So for now, I will go back to checking, checking, checking for the next blog.
Love, Mom
Still sounds like a good time is being had by all. Tom and I are still at Lakeside and awaiting finals…he made it back in the 200 back. (but no 800 relay…we didn’t have enough boys! Only Alex M, Matt L and Tom are left!…long story)
Later when we get home we will head over to Jake’s graduation party. We will tell him Hi from you. I know he wishes you could be there. Matt M. is waiting to have his b-day party until you get back…said he couldn’t do it without you ! Other than that, not much happening. Raining on and off here, hoping it won’t storm tonight.
Will write more later. Lots of Love, Mom
Hi Lew,
I hope you are doing well in spite of the bugs. Weather here in the north is chilly and drenching wet, but the air smells so good. The “Hildene” car show that is now the Don Dorr car show was today. Dad took the Charger and had a good time. Lil stopped in stores to fill out applications, and Isaac came along for the ride. There was lots of dragon breath on the mountains today. Looks like Lil and I will go to Maine tomorrow. I’d like to put that project behind me. I hope your project is more fun. Isaac misses you a lot and can’t wait ’til you return.
We love you tons,
Mom
