Retour en mer
... déjeuner à la carte.
Aujourd'hui le temps est frais et venteux. Sylvain à eu encore une fois la patience de nous réserver une place pour la journée au Sanctuaire. Lecture, écriture, magasinage dans les boutiques du bateau et balade sur la promenade complète notre avant-midi. Un petit film dans notre chambre en après-midi car il fait frais et de petites gouttes de pluie sont tombées.
Le temps de refaire les valises a sonné: ...
La vie des gens riches mais non célèbres

Earthwatch Project - reefs and mangrove rivers
We ended our stay on Eleuthera Island with a 9 day Earthwatch Project. The project took place at the Cape Eleuthera Institute and Island school. We lived in single sex dorms and ate our meals with the rest of the Cape Eleuthera Institute staff and the high school students.
