Hi everyone! Well, this picture is our path to get to the Tim Hortons...yes, I know...not exactly the well lit path is it...electricity and pavement are sparsely used here in St. Andrews...
LOL! Just kiding, this is the path that we take so that we don't have to go up this hill - it is a major killer - I mean it takes 5 minutes just to catch my breath after that hill...so we have found a slightly longer...but less strenuous path :)
Today was amazing! The morning started off with lectures about social behaviours, sounds, and feeding techniques, then had lunch (chicken wings) and then watched a National Geographic movie on Dolphin behaviour - very cool - pretty aggressive little beasts.
After..da.da.da.dum... we went on the "Fundy Spray" for our first outting. OMG was it cold :) I mean freeze your fingertips cold...but really amazing...check out the pictures on http://angelarosespictures.shuterfly.com let me know if it doesn't work.
We saw a crazy amount of porpoise, tons of Harbor Seals, some gray seals, a Fin Back Whale and a Minke Whale - it was amazing! The pictures of the whales are porpoise aren't great - they move so fast - it was almost impossible to get them - but a girl here got some great pictures, so I'll try to get some of her pictures from her to show everyone.
My lips are burning from the salty air and I have just warmed up my body from the cold afternoon and evening after a nice long hot shower. Unfortunately our trip for tomorrow to Grand Manan is cancelled due to high wind and storm announcements...we are all very disappointed, but we get to sleep in and start lectures at 10 instead of 9 - so we have a little extra time to start on our research for our projects.
Well, I am off - miss you you and very much.
Hugs and kisses

I picked up Grampy yesterday and brought him home with me. We have a tee time booked for Tuesday, so I'll take him to the driving range tomorrow or Monday. I thought LOL meant Lots of Love. Silly me!! Happy studying. Hugs and Kisses, Aunt Deb
Hi Aunt Deb,
I think if you write in the web address for the picture it should work - the link isn't activated, but the address does seem to be working...let me know.
Thanks
