Man Overboard!....ok almost

Well I've been here over a week now & I am starting to get settled in pretty good. I just finished doing some homework I needed to do for tomorrow & getting ready for bed, it's about 3am here. This weekend was fun, I got to hang out with alot of my new classmates. On Friday a classmate who is renting a boat (to live in) while he is here invited the entire class to a party on his boat. It was a nice boat, but not big enough to hold all 25 of us on the top deck. At one point the boat rocked and a bunch of tools, a computer monitor & some purses fell into the water. We were there fishing all the stuff back out of the water....pretty funny. Then to top it all off I almost fell into the water while getting off the boat!

Then Saturday I went to see the church of 'La Sagrada Familia' which Gaudi designed (famous Spanish architect who died back in the 20's). It is a beautiful church & it's not even done yet...Gaudi was so specific in his design that it is estimated to be finished in 2030! I posted some pictures if you are interested in seeing it.

In other news Diego is filming a movie in Turkey right now (opposite Billy Zane) and he'll be there through the end of the month so I might go spend a few days there because I have a week off at the end of the month & he said he can get me a free ticket there.....more to come....
It's official! Ecuador is going to its 2nd straight World Cup!!!!
