After our second week of training, we feel comfortable in assuming our forthcoming duties. We have another full week before we will do our first solo presentations, so we’re pretty comfortable. I want to go over and formalize my notes, but I will have plenty of time to do that.

Yesterday was our goof-off day. We went to Pocomoke. Our original objective was to attend an ATV fest, but when we drove by that looked like a bust. So we visited the Pocomoke Discovery Center which is a museum of Eastern Shore life, and features two river otters. We also walked their nature trail through a small Cyprus forest, followed by a more traditional forest. When land is closes to sea level, a small change in elevation (just a foot or two) can drastically change the types of plants and wildlife. Here are a few pics of the otters.
