Happy 4th of July

Monday July 2 - Monday was a chill day. I slept in until 11 and then went to class. After a nice walk in the Rio I came home to work on my project. I had to do a powerpoint presentation about the attitude toward nudity and sex in Spain.

Tuesday July 3 - I had my presentation in the morning, it went very well! To celebrate being done I went to the beach! I am loving the beach more and more everyday! I still lay under my umbrella a majority of the time I am there because I do not want any sunburn ruining my fun!

Wednesday July 4 - 4th of July and my anniversary with Jon Spain style. I was able to skype Jon for about an hour in the afternoon before he was off for his day of holiday fun which was so nice! After I skyped I went to the beach! It was a little windy on the beach so not too unbearably hot. I am getting tanner and tanner each day aka I have a lot of freckles! To celebrate the 4th we went to the American bar Portland. Portland was serving american food all afternoon and was full of people who were here traveling and studying. I met students from Cedarville Ohio, Iowa State, Virginia and North Carolina State. It was fun to hear about their travels. There was no parade or fireworks or Mackinac Island so it did not really feel like the 4th of July. I will just have to see some fireworks when I get home! Below is Sam and on on the 4th! We both dont really own any red, white and blue so we just wore cute dresses:)

Thursday July 5 - In my morning class we had a speaker come in and talk about the Camino de Santiago. It was a really nice presentation and made me want to travel and do something big! After class I went to the beach again! I took a nice siesta on the beach. We got a spot right near the water so I could hear the waves right next to me better. After dinner we went to a local bar to hang out. We then went to a discoteca on the beach. We stayed to watch the sunrise over the Mediterranean Sea.

Friday July 6 - I slept in until lunch. We had rice and a fried egg for lunch which was not very filling. I am excited to eat normal food when I get home! I have already put in my requests to my mom of what I want! After lunch I went shopping with Anna and Sara. There are a ton of sales here in July so practically all of the stores are having  rebajas. I wanted to get a cute dress but didn't fall in love with any but I did get a bag. I came home and took a nap until dinner.

Tomorrow I am going on a day trip with the school to see a roman theatre.
