Fiesta Mexicana
Last Saturday was a night of Mexican Fiesta and Science Costume Party. Mara cooked delicious tacos and guacamole for all of us and we had wonderful dinner with candle light. We ate, listen to music and some tried their hand at hula-hoop :)
After diner we went to put on out costumes and went to the Wind to have a party which was in the same time goodbye-party for Kyra. And as befits for scientists, we partied till morning :)

Lazy weekend
This weekends main theme was laziness. I don't know what was the reason for that lack of vital forces. Saturday passed on sleeping and watching movies and ended in "the wind" to say goodbye to Eva who was leaving today :(
During our visit here, we meet a lot of people and most of them are very nice. We make friends and then..... they leave. I must say, this is very sad. Today we had to say goodbye to Eva who was going back to Canada. People come and people go from BIOS and We stay and watch. After this year I will really & truly hate goodbyes! Although the worst of them - the first one when I was leaving my home & friends - Is behind me I know I have many ahead and they will be sad enough.
But I hope we will meet again! Small world so chances are BIG :)
This afternoon, despite tiredness we went on 'cave hunting'! And we succeeded :)
In Bermuda there is many caves flooded by water and two specially beautiful called ' Crystal Cave' and 'Fantasy Cave'. But they are quite expensive so this time we decided to find other caves. We found one FREE beautiful cave we could swim in. To do that We had to pretend to be customers of the fancy resort 'Grotta Bay'. It wasn't that hard so we could experience very cold and refreshing water inside the cave.
And by the way we were there we used hot tub... which was soooooooo nice!!!

Aquarium
Today morning we had a group trip - POGOnians, Interns and fall students from the US- to the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo to have a better look on ocean wildlife around the Bermuda Islands. It is the most popular place to visit in Bermuda. Here You can admire underwater life, know the history of the Bermuda Island and learn about endemic and endangered species.
However the Aquarium itself is not very big in size it has a lot of interesting species which we can find ourselves snorkeling not far from the coast. As we did right after visit in the aquarium :)
And here are some pictures, :
