What a week it has been! We finally got to spend an entire week on our project without the usual demands from other classes. We never realized how much we could get down once we got the opportunity to have 8 hours dedicated to strictly working on our project (with the obvious work breaks to view penguins at the aquarium). The staff at the NEAq is extremely friendly and welcoming to our group, and we are thankful for such a positive work environment. Here are a few photos and captions from our week!
While taking a lunch break, Alex and Ray were catching some rays on the stairs outside the Ocean Center.
On our first train ride home we convinced the Climate Group that we lost Elior in the hustle to get to the train. In reality, she met up with Kara from the Cyanobacteria group for dinner. We took a funny snap chat to document the moment.
Of course we had to visit the Aquarium gift shop! We found the display of plush right whales for sale and could not resist playing with them. I see a purchase in our near future.
Our first walk to the aquarium!
As we are walking through the streets of Boston we pick up on the metropolis styled atmosphere: everyone is rapidly moving from one street to the next, some running in heels to catch their train. The sense of urgency gets our legs moving and we make it to the Aquarium in no time!
