First Bermuda Post

Well, day nine in Bermuda. Complying with the desires of my parents and a few others, I’ve decided to start another blog this one pertaining to Bermuda. I won’t be insulted if this is never given a second glance (or if I am writing this to my immediate family only… that’s fine too). I don’t think it is as important or nearly as interesting to blog from Bermuda. If one has the money, he or she can fly here and stay a couple days, and Bermudians are certainly welcome to spend their money in the United States as well. However, I would like to start this blog with the realization of the astounding number of similarities I see between Cuba and Bermuda (and of course the United States) and the warning that this will be a venue where I will compare the two places. I will also start with a promise- one that I truly hope I can keep- I hope to maintain this blog as more of a photo-journal than a written entry account of my time here. I had desired to do the same in Cuba but the internet simply would not allow it. So, be prepared for some explanations of the obstacles I encounter throughout the microbiology research I am doing here, and more random thoughts and observations I remember to jot down (or type later?), and also some photographs taken during my three months on the tiny British territory, Bermuda.
