Today we went to the Biosphere 2 where we saw many indoor ecosystems. When we arrived, we got a tour of the whole area and we saw a rainforest, an ocean, a desert, and many other ecosystems that were all inside of the dome. To start off the tour, we were informed about the process by which the Biosphere 2 was built. It was first tested with seven people who were lived in the biosphere for two years to see if they could survive without any outside resources. We learned all of this while sitting where the actual tested people lived. After that we got to see and spend time within each ecosystyem. The final part of the tour we went to the 'lung' of the biosphere where we saw all of the mechanics. When we exited the 'lung' we got blown with very strong air and Winston thought the entire experience was majestic. Then we took a break to eat our lunches and during lunch Ines and Hanna jumped and screamed from wasps multiple times. Although this did not stop the bees from coming it was funny to watch. After a short talk about rocks we went to the gift shop where we all only bought food. On the way home we had music parties in the car rides while navigating ourselves to our next destinations. Later we stopped to walk around Tucson and we walked along a walking tour. When we got back to the house we played a huge game of BS and spoons. It was so loud that Mr. Mogil had to calm us down. Jeff, Asia, Ally, and Jaly cooked us all fettuccine alfredo with cheesy bread and 'white trash' for dessert. (White trash is a surprise.) To end the night, we wrote in our journals to reflect on the day.
