Update!

Hello Again! I haven't updated this thing in a couple of days because the internet on our ship has been down. People have literally been walking around twitching as they try to cope with the internet withdrawls. Since I last talked with you... we have left Croatia! I loved how picturesque the country was. It is just packed full of history and beautiful seaside homes. The island of Korcula apparently had it out to get me... the first time I went there it was 112 degrees and apparently the hottest it has been there in 100 years. The second time I went there I fainted. So I'm going to be happy with the fact that I tried twice and something just wasn't meant to be for me on that island. I am currently sailing in the Adriatic Sea down the coast towards Greece. I cannot believe that by this time tomorrow I will be in Greece! I am now 10 hours ahead of those of you in California. Greece seems like it is going to be a lot of fun. I have a few trips lined up here and there and then 3 days just free to explore. I have learned to love my free days to explore on my own. It is so much more relaxed and obviously less tourist-like. I love learning what our guides have to teach us, but sometimes it is so hard to try to take in the moment when you're being pushed from one spot to the next on a very strict time schedule. I have a question for anyone out there who is willing to answer it... What's new in the US?! The students on the ship and I haven't heard a newscast since June! We were all talking about it at dinner last night saying how we feel so disconnected from the latest happenings in our home country. Hopefully everything is just as amazing as we left it! I have more classes today and then a preport meeting for Greece tonight. Oh and guess what!?! We are having a Toy Story 3 movie night tonight!! YAY!!! I also joined a Bible study on the ship which is going really well. We meet tonight right before the movie =) It should be lots of fun! (especially since I'll wake up tomorrow and be in Greece!)
