 This week we learned about some of the sea mammals we will be learning about during our excursions. The whales and turtles are some of the cutest creatures under the sea. On Sunday in Villefranche, we will be able to see the whales in their habitat. Yesterday, we kayaked in Juan Les Pins. Alicia and I fell out of our kayak while switching spots. The kayak bonked me on the head. It was interesting to see the fish farm that lay in the middle of the water. We had talked to a local restaurant owner and he told us they get tired of eating the same fish all the time.

 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.
