Well our Croatia vaca... I mean field trip is almost over. We head out tomorrow afternoon so we still have some time wander around. Today we took some samples in the morning (as usual) and then headed to a "beach". It was an overlook with a little concrete dock area where we could jump off and into the water. It also had sheer drop offs everywhere except where they had built the pier. We jumped in off the pier to survey the water and see how deep it was. The shallowest place was probably 20 meters deep and there were areas where that number jumped to 50 meters. It was crazy deep. So, what did we decide to do with sheer cliffs and deep water? Well, we jumped off the cliffs of course! The shorter of the two was probably 20-25 feet high while the taller was about 10 feet higher. It was actually less scary to jump off this cliff than the waterfall. I think it was mainly because as long as you pushed off the edge just a little bit (aka you didn't just slide down) you were not going to come anywhere near hitting something. The worst it did was clear out your sinuses and that was a welcomed thing for most of us. I got some really great photos of everyone but I forgot my cord to upload photos to my computer so you will have to wait a few days to get photos.
So, tomorrow afternoon we head back to Split and then catch the overnight ferry to Ancona. From there we are going to head back to OGC to rest up a little before most of us head to Rome for a Tallest Man on Earth concert. I haven't really heard much of his music but it will be fun to go to a concert with everyone. The plan is to then stay up all night and catch the 5:45am (the earliest train we could get) train back. I am not sure how the staying up all night after almost no sleep the night before is going to turn out but we will be active for most of it. The plan is to go to the "American" bar (where all of the American foreign exchange go) and stay there until it closes (4am we think) and then we have no idea what we are going to do for the next almost 2 hours. It could get interesting. Plus, half the group is coughing like crazy. Luckily, I am still sickness free.
