Kayaking

School started again this week, and it felt good to get back into my Normal schedule and see everyone after their trips! The week, like usual, sped by and last night we all went out to my favorite bar/club called the Loft for the Erasmus party. This morning, we woke up to a beautiful day and as Fridays are "Dia de deportes" (day of sports) with ISA, Ellen, Summer, Natasha, Geno, Ellen's friend, and I all met up to go kayaking on the river. I found out that kayaking here, isn't like kayaking in Minnesota, the boats are kind of like canoes, but with the standard kayak paddle. Whew! I forgot how much of an arm workout paddling was, and Summer and I were struggling against the current within meters of our start out point, but it was still amazing to see everything: the Guggenheim, our university, even our favorite mall, from a different perspective. It was great spending time with the girls and doing a different activity. Afterward, Natasha, Summer and I went for lunch at our favorite buffet; the perfect ending to a great day. Only 30 days left, and we still have a lot more activities to do! So many things, so little time!
