 Sharon and Shelley head out for a kayak while the students were working on the Panterra Workbooks.  Once we finished the workbooks the group headed to the beach for a hike.  Once onshore we geared up for a hike. |
 Ms. Bennet, Ian and Russel were no sooner up in the rocks exploring.  Dan offers a helping hand to Shelley.  Group picture in the backdrop of the iron rich sandstone. |
 A Whiptail lizard looks on.  The Gangsta was not smiling when she removed her body from around the cactus.  We started our hike and encountered a couple of wells. A decade ago the Mexican Military had set up an outpost and the wells were dug and made to supply freshwater to the men stationed at the outpost. |
 Pretty cool picture looking down the well into a reflection of yourself. Stasia took this picture!  What a gorgeous view looking back!  Lauren, Veronica and Naomi pose in the natural sandstone carving. |
 Shelley and Karen (Ms. Larter) pose for yet another beautiful picture.  This is the coolest of the pictures!  A Chuckwala lizard tries to hide from sight as we make our way back down to the beach. |
| The Amazing Race  The first activity was to build a sandcastle in 15 minutes. Team Barnacles build Mayan castles in honor of the Mexican culture. Nice touch!  Team Sea Cucumbers build a turtle, thinking it would impress the judge. Shelley!  And the winners are the actual sand castle builders complete with walk through tunnel and a balcony that doubled as a pool. (I can't remember their team name - can someone email it to me please)  Next on the list of activities was a crab walk. Notice the students had to wear shoes on their hands for safety reasons. |
 The crab walk was supposed to be followed by a team kayak to the last rock outcrop but instead a stampede pursued and the kayaks were long forgotten.  Next activity on the list a backward flipper run. |
 The last of the race activities was a set timed snorkel in search of as many marine animals that could possibly be spotted. |
 The winners of the group photo part of the race. Team Barnacles.  Ian and the girls enjoy a dinner of mashed potatoes, salad and Chicken Cordon Blue. |

We started our day off at a place called Cardinal, where
we woke up and had breakfast. Then we sailed off to Candelero where we
went for a nice hike in a canyon where a river used to be, but it was long
dried up. The rocks were fascinating, as they were a deep orange tint with
many holes, crevices and caves due to natural erosion. All of the rock
surfaces were smooth, and none were jagged. They looked like prehistoric
rocks. Soon after the hike, we came back to the M.V. Narval where we had
lunch. |
