So, I've been a little behind with limited internet access but here is some work updates!!! First: Park/Lakes of Almenara

Josh, myself, and Nicole, another volunteer that works at Albufara with us doing conservation work, get to occasionally go on little side detours. This particular trip, which was two weeks ago now, was to the Visiting center of Almenara where we learned about the center and the conservation projects being done around the area to help restore it, same as what we do with Albufara. However, the conservation work has been going on at Almenara since 1995, as opposed to Albufara's 2007, so there has been much more progress (aka, cleaner water, more plants and natural species). While there, we watered (again) some trees that had been planted and then got to go on a tour to the local beach which was GORGEOUS!!! However, fun fact, it was a nudist beach which a guy did take advantage of... *shivers*.... after that, we visited some local spots, including a very old farmhouse (with bees...lots of bees) and a mine that produces top soil. We got to see lots of birds of course! (:  The rest of the week was spent working at the park (albufara), a day in benidorm (a different post) and to the oceanografic (largest aquarium in Europe!) . Next post will share more about benidorm and my adventures with cacti! (which i severely hate!)
