After being back at Colby for a week, I have realized that Bermuda in winter is pretty ideal.\u00a0 There are not a lot of tourists and the weather is quite mild and enjoyable.\u00a0 If I had the choice to winter in Bermuda I probably would.<\/p>\n
Overall, I felt that the ten days that we spent in Bermuda went very smoothly.\u00a0 I enjoyed everyday, and I felt that I learned a lot about the history, geology, and biology of Bermuda.\u00a0 Of course, I also think that there is a lot of history and science to study more in depth while on the island.\u00a0 The many sounds, bays, reefs and island ecosystems all provide interesting opportunities for field work.\u00a0 I found it very interesting to learning about the early history and settlement of the island, and how certain aspects of settlement influenced the modern ecosystems throughout the island.\u00a0 I also found the limestone outcroppings throughout the island, specifically along the roads to be very educational.\u00a0 The striations of the dune layers were very prominent and provided a tangible explanation for the geologic history of the island itself.\u00a0 The cup reefs that we viewed while snorkeling and from the beaches were also extremely interesting.\u00a0 I had never snorkeled before and I found the underwater community of reefs to be fascinating.\u00a0 I had never seen so many fish and corals interacting and living together.<\/p>\n
This trip was incredibly fun and educational.\u00a0 I enjoyed everyone on the trip and I enjoyed all of the guests that educated us while in Bermuda.\u00a0 From the aquarium to Nonsuch Island we were provided a very special opportunity to learn and explore the island.\u00a0 Bermuda, as a tightly populated island, can teach the rest of the world a lot about being sustainable.\u00a0 Hopefully someday I will have the opportunity to return to Bermuda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
