Mangroves, Oysters, & Birds






We just got back from the best field trip I have ever taken. Three days in Sine Saloum, nice weather, and everyone was in good spirit. During our adventure we took a pirogue to the mangroves where students tasted oysters, observed birds, and strolled on a island. Check out the video of Jad eating an oyster for the first time. Will he like it?
