Day 1, Dolphins of the Ionian Sea research Project

It is my first night here at the research facility. Joan and Stefania are the prinipal investigators of our Earthwatch expedition. They are both very friendly people with a good sense of humor. We met Inara is a public relations writer for HSBC (Hong Kong and Shanghi Bank Coorporation) of Brazil. Eva also works for HSBC but in Hong Kong in the law department. Everyone enjoys learning about other cultures and traditions, but has the same goal of conservation.

Joan and Stefania cooked dinner tonight, we had Greek salad made of mostly tomatoes (not lettuce), olives, feta cheese and dressing. We had pasta with a light tomato sauce and tomatoes. As usual we had bread which seems very common at Greek meals. It is a hearty bread with a tough crust that tastes good with or without butter, honey or a spread that was made from olives.
