Joel's Trip to San Salvador



I (Joel) spent a week on San Salvador island in the Bahamas, on a field trip with members of the USF Geology department. We were touring Quaternary limestones made up of sand dunes and beaches made from pure carbonate sand, as well as coral reefs, from various sea levels over the past 185,ooo years or so, now high and dry and riddled with caves. So basically I spent a week hiking, caving and snorkeling for college credit. Of course, I do have to write two papers, and I am writing this instead of researching...
