Day 3: Meager Rations

As Nate pointed out today, "Moral is low, rations are meager, this is the Oregon Trail."

First, brief synopsis of Day 2:

Breakfast: two boiled bananas.

-Collected 40 tangerines after school, good start.

-Result of fishing with a pole and hermit crabs: Utter Failure

-Result of chiseling oysters from the Causeway: Good, about 50 oysters

Dinner: 7 oysters (baked in an oven for 15 min at 425...delicious actually) and two tangerines.

Now as we near the end of today, Day 3:

Breakfast: Two tangerines and one oyster (bad decision).

-Another unsuccessful day of fishing, this time with a speargun, which was at least fun.

-Set up a chicken trap and although we lured the chickens in, they escaped with their lives. :(

-Dinner: 3 boiled bananas, 4 oysters and a delicious glass of coconut water.

Getting enough protein has been our biggest issue thus far. If the clouds cover tonight, I may go machete fishing out in the flats...that's been the easiest way to catch fish thus far.

Needless to say, eating 500 calories a day, while teaching five classes, has been hard on the mind and the spirit.

Cheers.
