Future Marine Biologist Visits Dolphins of Menorca
I’m a twenty year old undergraduate who is studying English. As part of my degree requirements I have to take classes, and demonstrate proficiency in science, language, math and others. I was resistant to this, not because I felt stupid or couldn’t do the work or anything, but because my major is English and I want to be a short story writer. Well, interestingly, my perspective changed last semester, which is why I’m writing this, and now I am extremely supportive of this structure.
To satisfy one of my science classes I took biology. I had absolutely know interest in this and only took it because it sounded slightly more interesting than any of the others. I ended up sitting next to a girl, who was a biology major and we ended up becoming friends. Her name is Denise and she plans on becoming a marine biologist which will keep her in school quite a while after she gets her BS. This in itself intrigued me as I knew very little about the subject. What completely captivated me was when she told me about her trip to the Balearic Island of Menorca, and the dolphins she saw there.
Denise has been on three of the four major Balearic Islands that are located in the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Spain. Majorca is the largest, while Ibiza is famous for its night clubs. On this trip she only visited Menorca and stayed in one of the best Menorca hotels. She had a great time on the island and visited most of the major landmarks. She spent a day at AquaRock, which according to Denise is an incredible aquatic park. Her favorite part of the trip though, was the guided tour she took around the island, which was also a dolphin sight seeing excursion. She loves these intelligent animals and was thrilled to see them playing freely in the beautiful open water.
