Day Off! (Sunday, July 12)

Some of the group took off at 6:30 am to head down to Big Cypress for airboat and bus tours of the swamp. Helen and I were looking for a little more restful day, so we slept in and then went to the beach in Vero Beach for the afternoon. We had a great lunch at a patio restaurant, and met up with the swamp-tour-group for dinner. It was a much needed break from the 10 hour lecture days we've been having since getting to HBOI, and definitely re-energized me for the next week of lectures. Less than one week until we leave for Tanzania!
