Mexico
Over the winter break, the Biology Club embarked on an adventure deep into the Baja California Peninsula. In just seven days we logged over 2400 miles, encountered a variety of animals, witnessed some of the most amazing scenery in the world, met lots of really great people, and we topped it all off by having some surreal encounters with some Grey whales in the largest natural preserve in the western hemisphere.
It was snowing in Mexico! Not really, standing out on the world's largest salt mining operation.

Hasta luego, waves our new friend.
