Volleyball

So, had a good evening. After eating went up to the room and got ready to play some volleyball. Needless to say I had a blast! My team won 2-1 and it was cool to hear people counting points in French even though I can not remember...nor did I understand most of what they were saying. I'm looking forward to playing more sports next week as this is a good way to have fun with the local students and just burn off some energy. Anyways that's all for today folks, bye bye.

Boredom and Meandering

So...I've come to believe that torture is sitting in a classroom on a beautiful sunny day listening to a professor drone on for 3 hours over a topic you're already familiar with. If you agree with me, you will come to see a bit of what my day entailed. It was torture, fire and torment torture, plain misery and let me say I was wanting to climb the mountain I kept taking pictures of during the class period. When the clock hit 12pm (noon) I was out of the door as soon as the professor recognized the time - with a bit of a helpful nudging mind you - sprinting for the cafeteria. After I finished eating, I headed to my dorm room, checked my email and then decided to go for a walk. I started out on a path through the woods which steeped downward meandering down the mountain path through a part of the city I had not seen before. It was a good time, sunny with a bit of a breeze and NO RAIN. I walked through an older part of the city, across a footbridge, then across some railroad tracks, up a highway inter-pass, and finally made way though the back areas of the city before deciding it was time to head back, really there was nothing more to see. I saw the most peculiar public restroom...quite nice compared to US outdoor port-a-pots. Then made my way up the hill. It was not nearly as bad today without the rain. It was a nice walk and really a nice day a lot of pictures were taken.
