Homeward bound!

Both groups have departed from Florida and are making the drive home.  They were planning some DC tourism stops on the way up, and then the return to a snowy New Hampshire.

After a few days of unpacking and repacking, the third and final group will begin the southbound adventure and their turn to spend a week in the Sunshine State!

fishing on sandy beaches while the home state gets burried is not bad.  We have been enjoying bright sunny days and temps in the 70s and 80s.  The students got to do some fishing as well as a mantee tour.

Greetings from sunny Florida!

My apologies to anyone who has been looking for regular updates.  I was waiting until we had some good photos to add, but have been unable to get the camera away from the students.  I will try my best to get it for tomorrow.

The first group has safely arrived in Florida and set out yesterday for the outer islands in the Gulf of Mexico.  The students are all in good spirits and have spent their time fishing and exploring the islands they have been camping on.

The second group is due to arrive tomorrow and will set off on their island adventure on Thursday.

Again I will do my best to have pictures up tomorrow!
