 This week I had the opportunity to learn about different families of fish and put together a small essay focusing on one of them, the barracuda. I also had fun visiting a local estuary, which was quite nice to stroll around. As I’ve spent some more time here I am learning a lot more about the language and culture, mainly through being more confident in speaking French, even when I find myself having trouble with it. I find myself really enjoying being able to walk around the city and explore however I want, with public transportation like trams and buses being a greater point of appreciation here than back at home. The different museums we have been to and places with gardens have also been a treat since the plant life is made up of both very familiar species and those that I’ve never seen before.

 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.
