Wow! A life changing experience for sure. Beautiful pictures. The Great Barrier Reef is on our bucket list. Glad you are having a great time.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I just want to comment on every picture!! What a fantastic view you had of all the amazing under-water inhabitants!! So colorful and diverse! That one picture from the boat of all the "things" just under the surface reminded me of Nemo's "class" at school! haha! How many Americans can say they got to scuba dive at the Great Barrier Reef??! And oh,my. Those claws on the Koala are a little scary looking! Once in a lifetime experience for sure! So glad you are sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I have to say, what a fantastic idea (and opportunity) to have a Life Skills Center and School Kitchen that teaches students to grow and prepare their food! Your summer school "crops" seem to be hanging in there!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
