 This week discover and create new experiences. I had never done snorkeling before, it was an

experience that I will not forget, I must say that it was scary at first but then it was really

amazing. I had the chance to touch a starfish and also pass by a jellyfish  (I was stung by a

jellyfish right at the end of my snorkeling experience), but hey I was stung by a jellyfish in

the Mediterranean. Even if I got stung by a jellyfish I can say that they look so beautiful

under de water and I am glad that I had the chance to see them.

 Also on our other excursion I

was able to discover more about the estuaries. Fresh water are generally surrounded by more

plants, mud, while salt water we cannot see any vegetation on the outskirts but we do observe

that they are usually surrounded by rocks. Also in fresh water we were able to observe

organisms such as ducks, goose, and fishes, while in salt water I could not see any organisms

on the shores of the sea, I would have liked to have caught a crab and taken a picture of it.

 Over the first week of our study abroad program I have learned a fair bit, mostly concerning the cultural norms of the French, but also about marine biology. We covered a handful of interesting concepts, such as the many different species of fish, their environments, and their evolutionary adaptations, we even got to cut open some fish for first hand biology experience (I couldn't stomach dissecting them). The trip to the open air fish market was exciting, I had never seen anything like it before; although, the tram ride to the market had us packed in like sardines. I've gotten to eat almost as many species of fish as we've studied. Tomorrow we go snorkeling in the Mediterranean, I can't wait. I hope there are no icebergs.
