Crossing the Atlantic

We are now just two days away from Spain. I'm really looking forward to it we are going to spend a few days in Cadiz and a night in Seville which is about two hours by train away. Shiplife has been full. Everyday I am busy and I haven't stopped to think about my Capstone and graduate work but hopefully soon things in the field office will calm down and I can have a little more time for research. A typical day at sea consists of working in the field office, going up to the faculty/staff lounge in the evening and eating meals with friends. Community life is strong already and we have all made fast friends. I am having trouble finding food I feel like eating and we have lost an hour for many nights now so we are all tired most days. I did get a high-five from Arch-Bishop Tutu the other night at the bar and that was a highlight for me thus far.

Here we come Spain!!!
