Spring Break: Rock Islands

Here are some pictures of our Rock Island trip this past week.  It was beautiful out, although some people got thoroughly sunburned because the sun was so bright.
It was a brilliant, scorching day
There are so many islands...some with beaches, some without
The endemic Rur flower
It was kind of a short trip, but we got to have a picnic on the beach, and I explored around the side of an island a little bit and found shells, Rur flowers, and a little cave.
Fish at "The Cemetery"
Also got to swim with fish again and I got some good videos of little fish swimming in the coral at the "Cemetery".  I wish I could post videos, but might not have enough wifi power.
Humphead wrasse!  They're big and they came close


The beautiful tropicbird

This is apparently called a White, Fairy, or Angel Tern
We got to see a lot of things even though we didn't go many places.  It gave me a new appreciation for Palau and all it has to offer.  It was also a welcome break and we had a lot of fun with everyone (most of the teachers, local and SMs, and some of the dorm kids came).  It was a welcome break from school.  I'm thankful to God for a relaxing and refreshing vacation--it was just what we needed.
Riding back as the sun sets


I'll try to post pictures of our trip to Kayangel soon...

Until next time...
