Today is International Women and Girls in Science Day if you couldn’t tell from the title (definitely was only asked to be in this photo strictly because I’m a girl) ((did you just assume my gender?)) “Females make up 51% of the global population, but only 31% of scientific researchers. Today, the 11th of February, is a reminder that women and girls play a critical role in science and technology, and that their participation should be strengthened”. The girls here are super knowledgeable when it comes to the sea, marine life, and conservation efforts and I hope to learn a lot from them during my time here.
Mondays are our Sundays here, so nothing is scheduled throughout the day. I spent the morning on the jetty trying to work on my tan and catch up to these people and the afternoon lounging in the hammock. 
Yesterday I attempted to do laundry which I will probably never try again. Instead of clean clothes, I mostly got a pile of of still dirty clothes, only soaking wet and filled with soap. I used way too much detergent, and since everything has to be soaked and hand washed here, I managed to get out maybe half of the soap I dumped in after rinsing four or five times. Maybe I’ll just shower with clothes on?
Whenever I start to miss the luxuries of home like washing machines, air conditioning, a bed without sand in it, Taco Bell… I just have to look up. Can’t complain about much when this is your front yard.

You are doing an amazing job with your blog. I laughed out loud when you were talking about the fish. Love you lots!💗

Happy Women and Girls science day!! And be careful of those little orange fish with the black strips….. they’re man and women/girl science eaters.
