Thanksgiving in the Caribbean

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We had a Friendsgiving to celebrate the holiday with all the fixings. There were two turkeys, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, cream of corn, gravy, and cranberry sauce.

This has been the biggest Thanksgiving I have been a part of because usually it is just my parents, brother and I. Though I could not spend this holiday with my family, it was great to spend the day with amazing friends.

The beginning of the day was spent editing our journal for our research projects and enjoying the underwater world. One of my friends and I went on a dive a couple of hours before dinner. We started at the dive site Something Special and leisurely swam to Yellow Sub. Our maximum depth was about 75 feet and we just enjoyed the coral reef. We saw a barracuda that was about 4 feet in length swimming next two us and at one point below us. Also, we saw a large midnight parrotfish further below us. Other than these species, we saw the standard fish life that we have become familiar with throughout the semester.
