Cadiz! Day 1:

Hey everyone!

We made it to Cadiz this morning! We got here just in time to eat breakfast and watch the sunrise over Cadiz with Dean David who joined us for breakfast. It was so nice. Everyone has scattered to the four winds for all their different trips. We watched everyone leave and then got ready and a group of us went on a boat trip to watch dolphins. We headed out with a Marine Biologist and I was expecting to see maybe 4 dolphins (if that). Well, not only did I see 4 dolphins, I saw about 200+ dolphins! It was crazy! We even saw a dead one (which was sad) and the biologist caught it in a net and brought it on board and some of us (no me) touched it.  It is super hot and sunny here and so it was the perfect trip to be on the ocean. We were on the trip with the marine biologist class on SAS and a lot of those kids are scuba certified and so it was fun to talk about all the goings on under the oce (ocean)!

The past few days I have been reading and working. Time management is one of the hardest things about SAS. There is never enough time in a day. And we kept loosing hours and so not only are/were we tired, but we are behind.

I am taking the following classes: Sustainable Communities, Video Journalism, Global Studies and Anthropology: Family Utopia. I am really liking my Sustainable Communities class. It makes me appreciate Portland (even more). Green is the new Black. We are ahead of the game! I love it! And Family Utopia has brought up a lot of good conversation and deep thinking. Yesterday we learned that god parents are supposed to support you, not only physically, but also spiritually (Rod and Charlie and Marg) and that their role holds a lot of responsibilities. I am still practicing the video stuff, but we are working in groups and so I think that will help.

Tomorrow I am running in Cadiz in the morning (YAYAAYAY!!!!) before heading for Rhonda and the White Town.

Peace and Love
