Woods Hole, Cape Cod - Marine Biology Laboratory (MBL)

Its has been a long while since I have last posted. We have visited a couple of places since then, its partly the case of me wallowing in laziness as well as being caught up with some events that took up a lot of my time.

All that aside, we visited MBL in Woods Hole Cape Cod during our anniversary. The Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) is an international center for research and education in biology and ecology. It was founded in 1888, and to date, 55 MBL-affiliated scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize. Lu Lei had spent a week in the month of May there attending a microscope course known as AQLM.

The day started off sunny yet cool, however, later on in the day when we made our way to the lighthouse, we saw the cold air from the Atlantic ocean bring with it a thick fog. Within minutes much of the area around us was covered. I have also attached a video where you can actually see the cold air blowing in from the ocean. Fog is brought about by the mixture of the cold Atlantic ocean air and the warm air on land.
