Got up at 4 AM this morning and made it to Cape Cod at around 2:30 PM. I think that's pretty good time! I missed the D.C. traffic but got snagged in New York just a bit.
The beach house is a lot nicer than I imagined - much like a college dorm, bare but not entirely uninhabitable. We may have an ant problem, though. I'll try to take some pictures.
It's cold here right now - in the 60s - but I'm sure that will change near the end of May.
Tomorrow morning we meet with our project coordinator to go over the basics of what we'll be doing. I've been reading up on horseshoe crabs and I'm really excited to start.
Thus far I've gone grocery shopping, dusted my room a bit, and started unpacking. Right now I'm at the Wellfleet Public Library. Hurray for public internets.
That's all for now. I'm going to make a big pot of spaghetti for dinner so I need to find some meatballs.

Everyone should watch the nature program that was on Nature last Sunday about the horseshoe crabs and redknots. It talks about their their decline, their threats and recent research. I think I'll order it.
ReplyDeleteMeg - Glad to hear you made it safely! I have never been to Cape Cod and would love to see it, possibly we can head up that way this summer and if so we can stop by to say Hello. What a great time you will have, Enjoy and good luck with the ants!
