It's so hard to keep track of the day of the week and date, but all my professors reminded us today in class that it was Father's Day! So Happy Father's Day Dad!!
On another note, I am officially in Europe now! Last night we crossed over the line that divides Europe from North America!! It was later, around 9pm or so, and we passed by 2 islands (the first land we've seen since Tuesday) which were islands formed like Hawaii, over hotspots! The islands were really mountain-y looking, and apparantly belong to Portugal, which I found out today!
Yesteray. I saw dolphins for the first time this trip, and I saw them again today during lunch!! It was exciting to just see them jumping out of the water while swimming! Also, yesterday afternoon I went to the deck to read for class and it was cloudy and somewhat chilly, but about twenty minutes later, the skies turned bright blue and the sun came out, and it was hot!! I ended up getting a little red, and have huuuuge tanlines since I didn't wear sunscreen/wasn't wearing a suit or anything since I went out when it wasn't sunny. I was only out there for a little over an hour and it was crazy how much color I got! We are obviously getting close to the Mediterranean now!
Two more days of class and then Wednesday morning we will be in Spain!!! I am planning a trip to Portugual the first day and staying in a hostel that night and going back to Spain for the remainder of our time! I am excited since I will get to see yet another country!!
Also, I cannot wait until we get to ports to eatt!!! The food here is ok, but very predictable: every day we have a pasta, meat, salad, and some form of potatoes. Other random things are added, but nothing is that good, I guess it's good enough for cooking for 1000 every day, 3X a day! But, Naples, Italy is the place where pizza was invented, so I am really looking forward to that!
That's it for now! No time change tonight!!!!!! It's the first night we haven't had to lose an hour!!
