Buffet style breakfast at the hotel to start our days off! Our taxi was coming at 1pm to take us all to the airport so we had some free time before we left. Many people buddied up and went for a 10-minute walk to the caves and explored a smaller cave formation off the beach! Other groups walked around on the public beach directly across from our hotel. Some even did both! Once we were packed, checked out of our rooms and ready to go, the taxi took us to the airport so we could fly to San Salvador.
After a short, hot flight, we landed in San Salvador! We got to observe the inland lakes from the plane and see all of the beautiful landscape that we are about to go explore. With only having 5 people's bags missing (could have been worse), Troy came and picked us, and another research group from Tennessee, up and took us to the Gerace Research Center. Our flight was running a bit behind schedule so right when we got there we all corralled in the cafeteria for dinner. Meatloaf, carrots, green beans and mashed potateoes. Very great start to our stay! Afterwards we gathered in the conference room for an orienetation so that we all could get a little more familiar with our surroundings. Now, it is bed time so most of us have showered and unpacked into our group dorms and are heading to bed!! Overall, I'd say we had a great day.
