 During the second week of this study abroad, we traveled to Cagnes-sur-Mer to visit an estuary and we went snorkeling earlier during the weekend. Seeing the estuary in person was extremely interesting and helpful in learning about how the freshwater and seawater meet and how the wildlife survives and adapts within it. Snorkeling was also such an amazing experience, we swam with jellyfish and got to hold sea urchins and starfish. Despite being worried about being stung by a jellyfish, it was an amazing experience to get to snorkel in the south of France. I also got to enjoy going to see an opera and a movie in a French cinema, which was a very interesting experience.

 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.
