Horn Island

Horn Island, 11/8

 After setting up our tents in the blustering wind last night, we found ourselves on Horn Island, a small, remote island off the coast of Biloxi, Mississippi.  Our lovely teachers let us sleep in this morning, so we woke up at nine and began the day.  Our project for the day was lighthearted to say the least.  It involved making sand sculptures of animals that were native to the island with a partner, then drawing topography lines on them to denote the changes in elevation.  It's safe to say that the lack of sunscreen plus the 80 degree weather resulted in some pretty bad sunburns for a lot of us, but  I think just about everyone would say it was well worth it! The day concluded with a breathtaking sunset, and a classic savanna bonfire.
