Well today was just a regular day of classes and every night they usually have a lecture on something that you are able to attend called “Explorer Seminars.” Sometimes they are really random like one night was for if you wanted to learn beginner sign language. Tonight was the first night that I went because this one was given by a UVa Spanish professor called “How to Dine Out in Spain.” Let me just say that my mouth was pretty much watering the entire presentation! All the food looked soooooo amazing it made me so excited to get off this ship! First we learned about all the Spanish meal times and siesta which I vaguely remembered from middle school Spanish culture lessons. Then the professor just went into lots of different types of food that we would find like churros con chocolate, tons of paella, and of course lots of tapas! I don’t even normally like olives, but his description of the olives that they have there even made me want to eat a whole bowl! Anyway, now I am pretty sure I will be constantly hungry for some Spanish food all day tomorrow, then Wednesday we all get to wake up in Cadiz!!

Hi, Martha, it's Mrs. Myers. It is 5:30 here in Chicago and your description of the Spanish Dining seminar is making me hungry. We missed you at Elizabeth's graduation but know you're having a great time. Your mom has shared a lot about your adventure at sea. It sounds like fun. I'll forward your blog link to Elizabeth so she can write. And now that I know your link, I'll try to comment often. How many days at sea is this? What do they say about the transition to dry land? Any impact? Have you heard of the Amoco Cadiz? If not, Mr. Myers can tell you all about it sometime.
