Well, we have left Paris and London. Both were amazing cities. Both were a lot bigger than home. Surprisingly, I learned how to use the subway systems in both towns. I learned a lot about both towns and had a great time but now we are off to Edinburgh, Scotland; however, before I get into…

Costa Rica was amazing. I never knew I could see so many bird species in one place. Although I am tired from my trip, I am enjoying showing off all of the pictures I took to my friends and family. I have a picture of a sloth that I saw in the wild, something now…

Because we had limited internet and computer access, I was unable to post while I was actually in Costa Rica but this entry comes from the journal I took on the trip. As we landed in San Jose, I could not help but notice how the street lights looked from the plane. It was almost…

Over a week ago, high school students from Washington, D.C. began spending a few hours each night on patrol with us on the beach. Last night was their last night. At first, I was a bit worried about the whole ordeal. You never know how over ten high school students will act on a beach…
