Tolon Day 2

5/11/11

Location: Tolon

I woke up this morning and went down to breakfast. I ate some fruit and bread. I try not to be too picky about what I eat but I know it takes some time to get used to the meals provided by the hotels. Afterwards, we all had orientation to go through a few rules and what the plans are for our time in Tolon. We had some free time before our first class. I went down to the beach by our hotel with Josh and Elizabeth to take some pictures. There was a long dock made out of rock that we sat on and looked at the ocean. After that I walked through town and got some bread. There are more than 50 people on our trip and I see a lot of them around town. I’m slowly getting to know more people in our group. I sat down for lunch with a few girls from my class and got to talk to them for a while. Then I went to my first class meeting for sociology. We had class on the beach which was really fun. I decided to go into town to buy some flip flops because I was dumb and didn’t bring any. Then I met up with a few girls and we looked at all of the souvenir shops. I want to buy a few things that say “Tolon” on them before I leave. We still have a week left here so I have a lot of time to look around. We went back to the hotel to eat dinner and then went over to the internet café. I’m planning to just rest for tonight and read the chapters assigned in my sociology book. So far this has been a very easy going trip and I’m really enjoying it.
