The last day of our trip, we started with a lecture on the history and culture of the Bahamas. It was very fun, and I learned a lot. Then, she had a few volunteers come to the front and surprised us by having us dance!

After that, we headed out to Rainbow Blue Hole. It was about a 15-20 minute hike through the woods, which involved some fancy footwork but was overall fun. Then we jumped (or slid) into the blue hole. Supposedly if you go down far enough you can see stratification of the sediments, but I never got far enough down.

After Rainbow Blue Hole, it was lunch time. We ate at a pavilion at Davis Creek, a red mangrove area. We saw a green sea turtle, checkered pufferfish, schoolmasters, needlefish, and bone fish along the boardwalk which was really cool.

A significant and signature economic source on the island is Androsia Batik factory. They stamp, color, and sew clothing by hand and create unique batik works found no where else in the world.

After Androsia, we went to Captain Bill's Blue Hole. It was much bigger than the other two blue holes we visited. I very much enjoyed the high jump.

After we returned to station, Callie, Saleha, Jordan, Tom, Robin, and I went out to pull a seine net. It was kind of difficult, but we ended up catching a small school of silversides! We also saw a small Atlantic stingray.
Finally in the evening, we gathered around the campfire to listen to the Archie Story. We made s'mores and listened to all sorts of tales, which I enjoyed. I'm personally for the cave system theory.
