The Journey Begins!

Dear friends and family,
Yesterday we traveled out of Baltimore down to Tilghman Island in a van. We met our captain and boarded the ship. We learned how to cast off and set out onto the bay. We had a nice but rather hot ride and learned more about the boat. We also had a splash party on the deck. Then, we sailed up the Choptank River and docked here at Horn Point. We learned how to set up camp and we have a great view of the bay (except for the bugs of course). The food is excellent. Today, we went to an oyster restoration lab down the road. We learned about oysters and how this program helped restore there population in the bay. We got to move oyster shells and clean oyster enclosures. After that, we took a half hour hike to a little beach. There were crab shells and sea lettuce all over the beach. The water was warm and comfortable, and our group even found a snail colony. We went swimming and then returned to our camp to eat the delicious food.

Queridos amigos y familia,
Aller viajamos de Baltimore a la Isla Tilghman en un autobus. Conocimos a nuestro capitan nos subimos al barrco. Aprendimos a despegar y aterrizar en el mar. Tuvimos un buen viaje, pero tambien caliente, y aprendimos sobre el barrco. Tambien tuvimos una fiesta de agua en el barrco. Luego navegamos acia el Choptank River y aterrizamos aqui en Horn Point. Apprendimos a preparar las casas de campana y nos divertimos mucho en Chesapeake Bay (excepto con los bichos). La comida es excelente. Aohrra, fuimos a un laboratorio de restoracion de almejas cerca de aqui. Apprendimos sobre almejas y como este programa ayuda a restaurar el numero de almejas en el mar. Nosotros movimos conchas de almejas y limpiamos los tankes en donde viven. Despues de eso caminamos por media hora a un paya chico. Abia eskeletos de cangrejo y lechuga marina alrededor de toda la playa. El aqua estaba tivia y comoda y huestro grupo encontro una colonia de caracoles. Nadamos y luego regresamos a comer nuestra cena deliaosa.
