Day 13: Mexico Rocks and
Study Time
After a full day at the zoo and cave tubing yesterday, the
class went to the Lions Club beach BBQ last night. Following the BBQ,
we all watched the famous “Chicken Drop” and Justin (intern from TREC)
won the honors of cleaning up the droppings. We were scheduled to take
a charter boat outside the reef today and snorkel the spur and groove
region, but high winds and heavy seas prevented us from going. Instead
we returned to Mexico Rocks for an enjoyable morning snorkel. After
lunch everyone settled down to some good old-fashioned studying, as the
final exam is first thing on Friday morning. Hopefully, the wind
will die down tomorrow so we can get one last snorkel in at Hol Chan
National Park before we have to pack and head home on Saturday.
