Tomorrow I will be in Spain! The whole ship is extremely excited to reach land, and since we have been learning about Spain for the past few days we can't wait to experience the food, culture, wine, art, ect. that we have been hearing so much about. Other than taking notes for my FDP's (class requirements) I am all caught up on homework until after Morocco. I just took a few pictures of everyone, or most everyone at least, in our little group that I have been hanging out with. I hope to post them while in Spain. We just all sat out on the deck and watched the sunset. In fact, about 300 students were out watching the sunset. Sometimes you need to savor moments like that. It's something that happens everyday, yet we don't ever really notice it. The only sunsets that we notice are those with bright oranges, pinks, and purples. The sunset tonight wasn't colorful. It was actually the most ordinary sunset that could possibly occur. No clouds ... but as the sun slipped under the horizon its simple reflection on the water caused 300 students to pause for just a few minutes. We are here, and this incredible experience is real. Don't take any moment for granted. Live, and love life. It is the simplest moments that remind us that we are alive. Now I am sitting in the Paino Lounge and there are people singing, playing guitar, and playing piano. ALl of the students who were outside are now inside, all relaxing, just listening silently to the music. We are the lucky ones, and I think we all know it. I'll post again when I can, but it might not be until after Spain if I can't find an internet cafe. ALthough I miss everyone tons, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now.
