so today was the first day of orientation - pretty boring stuff - it has
rained all day - the first time in 6 months, they say. We've met some
cool americans and other students. Many of us are planning to travel
together. hopefully this weekend we can go to nice or elsewhere in the
south. The weekend was fun - we went to the beach, and wandered around
the city. I'm excited to see more of it. There are many amazing gardens
and other places to spend the sunday afternoons - which is all you can
do since all of the stores are closed, as well as many restaurants.
Off to another meeting.
