And the excitement builds...

There is one week from tomorrow and we get on the plane for Belize.  I have been reading and studying about the park Hol Chan Marine Reserve that we will be spending most of our time studying.  Here is a link to the park's website.  It will be amazing!

About one week to go...

Wow!  I am so excited as I prepare for this research trip to Belize on July 6!  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me!  As part of the MS ^2 Master's Degree Program at Texas Tech University, I was fortunate enough to be accepted for this research trip.  The plane tickets are bought, the snorkel equipment is ready, and all that we have to do now is to study the fish ID list and wait for July 6.

While I have been in class at Texas Tech this summer, I have been practicing my snorkeling each day and studying the fish families and fish ID list to prepare for our research.
