turtles at the museum, nothing special they were just all out for a sun bath and I thought it was cool

not our boat but it is pretty

this was our boat it is called the lady lucille, it does intercoastal tours so we never went on the open ocean


we had cocktails downstairs and hung out out side I met some people from petrobas, CBI, shell, and BP

These are people from my office





then we went downstairs and head dinner and a little happy 35th anniversary celebration the ride was over at 9:30 and I went home

So, I haven’t updated in a while because of finals and then mike came down.  First things first I got an A and a B as my final grades.  I finally found two professors to work on my capstone.  I think we will be finished by the end of august, which means I am graduating on time.  Other than that that week was, me studying, working and sleeping.  Then mike came up last Friday.  We went to Padrinos and got the lamb and mojitos, just like dad had.  Then we went to Cowboys because it was ladies night and who says no to free booze.  The next day we went snorkeling NE of Nova.  It was awesome there were all kinds of fish and one of our guides was from Nova undergrad so he and I chatted.  He also threw a Ritz cracker right on top of me and I was attacked.  I attached the picture below.  There were different types of coral and fish including beautiful rainbow parrot fish.  I also got to see anurse shark in real life.  i was a foot away from it.  it was under a cliff so no picture but it was so cool.   It was awesome I really need to do it more often.  We then went and got seafood and ate clams and shrimp (delicious).  Sunday we slept in, went shopping, and ate Pho.  It was the first time he had ever had Pho so he really enjoyed it.  It was very spicy.  : )  That night we went to Melting pot and got my chocolate covered strawberries and used a coupon I found.  That place is always fun.  Then we went and bought a cigar and smoked/drank cocktails until we picked up a friend from the airport.  Monday we worked on my car, went to teavana and got green tea and walked on the beach.  Then we went to Outback and goofed around.  That night we watched the women’s bars at the Olympics.  Tuesday I took Mike to the train station and I went to my internship.  The internship was not horrible.  I did really well and everyone likes me.  I will be going there Tuesday and Wednesday morning for this semester.  Which will be fine.  The research is interesting but it will be a lot of reading.  Wednesday I went to the museum and was told there is a good chance I will get the job.  Horray!  Now I am working a double and tomorrow I work from 8-10.  So lots of hours.  I am very tired and I’m gonna take a nap.  I will see you guys next week!!
