Today was a good day. Class from one until two, and then Camila and I took the subway (which is just a giant circle) into the city centre. From there we walked to the People's Palace, which is apparently closed on Mondays. Oh well. There is a really lovely park around it, and we found a "winter garden" which was small but very pretty. After that we walked back and I hung around at a Starbucks (which had absolutely delicious gluten free hazelnut-dark chocolate cake!) until 6, when I had volleyball. Volleyball was fun! The girls are good but not too competitive. Looking forward to doing that monday nights. Only problem being that I miss dinner, but I was totally prepared. Had tuna fish and crackers in my room. One small glitch- the tuna fish, as it turns out, requires a can opener. So I found a yogurt and improvised. Current mission: find a can opener. Also: have more intelligence.
Pictures!

Factoid: During the medieval period, the term "Scotti" actually refers to the residents of Ireland, not Britain.
Pooh quote: "When you get a sinking feeling, don't worry, it's probably because you're hungry."
Much love,

1) knew 'scotti'
ReplyDelete2) does the fact that you have to point out when there's no rain mean that it is raining in all of the other pictures?
