Arriba:)

Ohhh Mexico, Mexico. Everyday is another eye opener here! Our first trip today was to the low tide. A little early for me but definitely worth every min! We all took the temperatures of the low tide, intertidal and high tide. Brady and I were assigned to the low tide which was 37 parts per thousands salinity and 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Throughout the time there, the group found organisms from snails, annelids and brittle stars which I am holding^^ to worms and crabs that we kept in a bucket to lecture about them an hour later. I found it funny because I am such a girl when it comes to holding animals but I held everyone except the fire worms..(even though I pretty much yelled every time they moved on me.) Haha when we were getting ready to leave this cute little puppy was following Jessica and all of us were paying more attention to the vertebrates rather than the invertebrates as Dr. C would say. The poor thing was covered in oil, not even 6 weeks old, had fleas, was dehydrated & had mange:( Broke my heart to see animals with no home, yet I have seen them all over her in Mexico. Good thing we brought him back to CEDO to see what we could do for now.. Saddest part of my trip!
 The most fun part of today was Kayaking! Yesltsy and I shared a kayak and I believe we need to enter the pros. Lol I definitely got more red after those 3 hours in the sun. I learned the estuaries are half fresh water and salt water but this particular one was negative which means no fresh water comes though and the salinity was around 78 and a normal ocean is 37. CRAZY! Best believe that salt residue all over my skin. We ended up eating great ceviche to end the trip. For dinner we ate at Curva and was the cheapest food I have ate here. Haha but really good too! A taco, enchilada and rice and beans. I ate everything!:) cannot wait to swim the the 600lb sea lions tomorrow!!! <3 mi amo Mexico. arriba!!!!:)
