 This week I learned about estuaries and how they are  semi enclosed areas where freshwater and saltwater meet and mix. Cannes Sur Mer has an estuary located in Parc Naturel des Rives du Loup where we got to see how an estuary looks and what kind of animals live there! The color of the water was very clear compared to other estuaries in the United States. I am happy that France is protecting this estuary and turned it into a park for everyone to be informed of how important these habitats are. Also I learned that I need to bring bread next time to feed the ducks.

 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.
