This has been a great week! Monday was Teacher's Day here; it is a national holiday and school is cancelled for it. My language school decided to plan a trip then for Monday to go to the Snow! They were a little dissapointed when we got to where they expected to see snow, though and there was only patches. So we played in patches on the side of the highway! It was a fun day!
On the bus on the way there, our teachers danced in the isles to blaring Arab music! And of course, when the traffic was bad and people were staring into the bus, they said it was because they could tell that we were foreigners and not because of the loud music or dancing going on in the bus!
After playing in the snow, we toured some ruins. It is really is incredible how many ruins and evidence of all these famous historical periods are in this country! Def. makes me wish that I had paid even more attention in history class! Then we had lunch, which is the big meal of the day here. So we had our fill of ethnic food, before heading home!
This week the weather has been wonderful! On Thursday, I took advantage of the nice weather to enjoy the Sea. I don't want to forget how special it is to live within walking distance of the glorious Sea!
Then I had my first overnight trip on Friday night, to another city. We also enjoyed the Sea here, although most of the time it was from the car (it was extremely windy, but we got to see some awesome waves!). Once again, we toured ruins there! They are everywhere!
I really love this country! Can you imagine, snow is only an hour away, and the Sea is only a walk away! And history always at your fingertips!
