Day 7 - May 10, 2009

Ah good day for a break after all that travelling. It really is hard to believe that it can be so taxing, but it is. Getting up early, packing, being attentive, tasting wines, listening to foreign languages and being on your best behavior really expends a lot of energy so when the teachers announced that today would be a rest day...we had a resounding HOORAH.

The students, always full of energy, played volleyball, went to the beach, shopped. I sat on a chaise by the pool with June and Cindy and read and kibbutzed. CJ joined us for a bit, she was way more active than me. Paddy was visiting friends.

Dinner was at a fish restaurant and we were going to have a buffet. A served buffet. A 7 course fish buffet. Heads & tails & bones buffet. Needless to say by the last course, thanks to Alex "alice" Peluso, we became pretty adept at deboning our fish. We ate some Portuguese fish that could find no translation, Sea Bream, Sardines, Sea Bass, Baccalhao, Salmon and Squid.

Tomorrow we are off to the Cork museum and Espana!
