This morning during breakfast we passed by the Azores Islands. I was reading about them on wikipedia and it says that the islands are about 2,400 miles away from the east coast! So we are pretty far away from home right now .. The islands were so pretty! Check out some info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azores
At around 730 I was eating breakfast with a professor named Joel (who is actually traveling to Granada the same time as me & my friends) - I helped him book is bus tickets & such when I was working the otherday. But anyway I was just eating breakfast and then there was LAND!! We haven't seen land since we sailed away from Halifax. It was a treat. My classes started at 8 AM so I went in and asked my professor if I could go up on deck 7 and take pictures and he said it was OK. After class was over I walked out and right out the window i saw the island that we were now sailing away from!
Some of my friends were telling me they could see houses and little boats when we were right next to it. It was really cool! The otherday we saw a boat (yesterday forgot if I mentioned it to you yet) but it was so small and just in the middle of the ocean.. weird! I took a zoomed in picture and you can see a guy standing on it. It's pretty cool picture.. I can't wait to upload some for you guys to see.
It's about 1 right now and I just had lunch and I'm done with classes for the day. I just have work from 8 - 10 .. So now I'm going to sit on the deck by the pool and do some homework :P
