Sunny Sunday

Today everyone was really surprised because it wasn't foggy or windy all day! It felt like it was about 60 degrees, so we decided to walk into town today. It's a 3 mile walk, so it took a while, but we found some good souvenirs and salt water taffy. We had to be really careful walking through town because there is no shoulder on Highway 1 there. On the way back we stopped at the Spud Point Crab Company about a mile from our dorms and had clam chowder, which was amazing! We're all really close already, and it's been really awesome getting to know everyone. After we got back we wrote postcards and had dinner. After dinner we sat in the dining hall and told funny stories from college for almost two hours. There is this "fox boy" that goes to one of the intern's colleges, and he wears fox ears and a fox tail 24/7 and runs around campus with his face covered. That was pretty funny, and there were a bunch of other crazy stories too. Tomorrow's going to be a busy day for everyone, because we have our lab meetings to get permission from our research professors to proceed with our projects. I'll just finish writing some postcards tonight and read a little bit.

  2. Thanks, it did! It was a little awkward because the research professor was there too, but I feel good about where I'm at with the research design.
