This area was very unique because of the very shallow water and strong winds, providing the perfect environment for windsurfing.<\/p>\n<p>We had dinner at a restaurant in town called Pasa Bon Pizza, which was absolutely delicious. You could definitely tell that the pizza was homemade because the dough and pizza sauce had a unique flavor. After dinner I had the chance to do a second night dive off Buddy\u2019s dock. The coral polyps were open and tarpon were everywhere hunting for dinner, which was such a spectacular site to see. I was in awe of the aquatic nightlife because it was vastly different from that of the creatures awake during the day.<\/p>\n<p>I had an amazing day in Bonaire and I can\u2019t wait for another adventure tomorrow\u2026 Goede nacht (goodnight)!<\/p>\n<p>~Megan Eppes<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0252.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7824\" alt=\"IMG_0252\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0252-1024x315.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"196\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today has been quite an adventure in Bonaire.
