Plant you discovered: I discovered a plant called Rip Gut grass. They call it that because if an animal eats it, it will start to cut the animals guts. It’s just like rubbing a dogs fur the wrong way. If you do that it kind of pokes you. It’s just the same with Rip Gut grass. If you rube it the wrong way it pokes you.

They were trying to get some of fish that she was feeding the eels. There was a pretty brave sea gull who was also trying to get some fish. It was getting pretty close to the eels. I also got to go to the touch tanks. I saw crabs, fish, sea stars, sea slugs, sea snails, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, and much more.

We also entered the hyperbaric chamber. This is a chamber in which injured scubadivers recover in. In here, the pressures can be changed to match certain depths of the oceans. If a person has the bends, they can be placed into the hyperbaric chamber, and make the bubbles inside of them go away.

victoria3Brittany: . . . . Thu, Jun 7, 11:28AM PST (-0800 GMT)

Yes,we have seen evidence of Native American tribes. All around us were 'garbage dumps.' The Native Americans which used to inhabit the island threw their food out on the ground. Also, underneath the garbage were indians which had been nuried there.
