Today was a pretty chill and relaxing day! I didn't have class until 11:30, so it was nice to be able to sleep in after going to bed at 2 am and also to spend some time relaxing and praying before the day started. I'm trying to find more of a routine of spending time in scripture and journaling, and I am learning to take it day by day and not try to plan it out as I usually do, which is helping a lot.
My class at 11:30 was my culture and medicine class, and today was the first day we had class in the classroom instead of a field trip to go on. I was really intimidated because our teacher can be a little scary and calls on us randomly to ask questions. Basically, she terrifies all of us. Class was surprisingly not bad! She brought us little sandwiches as brunch, which were delicious! We talked about the elements of the Mediterranean diet which was really interesting. They eat so much fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, tons of bread, and of course wine! Everything they eat is fresh and not processed - which is really awesome.
After class and lunch, we headed to the beach to spend the afternoon in the sun. The beach here is so nice and beautiful. The sand is super soft and the sun feels so wonderful. We spent a couple hours just laying out in the sun and relaxing. I also went in the water - first time in the Mediterranean! Hollaaaa! The water is freezing cold though. After a few hours at the beach, we left to get ready for dinner. On the walk back we stumbled upon a churro truck, and obviously we had to stop because we have been dying for churros and still hadn't gotten them yet. Oh. my. gosh. They were so delicious...I ate like 6 and could have eaten more! I think I was in heaven! The sweets are definitely what are keeping me alive here, because I know I can always count on those calories being delicious!
Now, I am just hanging out after eating dinner and finishing up some homework for tomorrow. I will probably try to head to bed early since I have class at 9:30 tomorrow and then we are touring a vineyard for wine tasting tomorrow afternoon, which I'm really excited about! It should be a fun day!
