Getting To Know The Town

5/17/11

Location: Tolon

Today I got up and ate breakfast and then went to class. I’m getting used to the routine after being here a week. I know that it won’t last much longer but it feels like I’ve been here a while already. After the first class period, I went with a few of the girls from my class to go eat lunch. We ate at a café on the beach and then went back for our second class period of the day. The classes aren’t too bad but sometimes it’s difficult when there’s 2 in 1 day. Once class was over for the day I went down to the beach to lay out in the sun for a while. Some people from our group came down and played a game of soccer on the beach. It was fun to watch and I also got to have some time outside. It wasn’t too sunny today but I still had a good time. Afterwards, I went back to the hotel to change and I played cards with a few friends. We ate dinner together and then I went into town with Elizabeth and Samantha to go shopping. I really like how small the town is and some of the people in the shops recognize us. We looked in a few different shops and met up with a few other people along the way. We stayed out until about 10:30 and then came back to the hotel and went to bed.
