Crab exoskeleton on the rocks.
This morning we rode to Spittal Pond on our bikes and explored the coastline there. We found several exoskeletons from Sally Lightfoot crabs on the rocks, as well as many chitons and West indian topshells. As we walked we also spotted a Bermuda Night Heron and a Snowy Egret.

In the afternoon, we went to the aquarium and looked at the fish and animals there. There were touch pools where we held sea cucumbers and sea urchins. The aquarium had a variety of beautiful fish, and it was really nice to see them up close with labels so that we will know what we’re looking at next time we go snorkeling. In addition, we got up close to some animals from the Gálapagos, Madagascar, and South America at the zoo.
