Back to School

So I've made it to Aulla (pernounced Oh-yew-la) for my Art classes.
Whoo that was a bit of train hopping. But I made it. Nothing quite like hopping on a train and having no idea if it's headed to your destination or not. Especially when no one on said train speaks any English. :)

But it's good to be in one place now. Lots of good people here too.
And wonderously HUGE lunches. Thank God! I though I was going to waste away from not eating. But it's soooo weird to be back at school, with assignments, quizes, exams and general classroom type drama. I haven't had to study in 5 years!

Went to the local Beer festival last night with a couple of my classmates. Apparently by "festival" they mean 2 kinds of beer. Oh well, it was neat to see the locals having fun. Even if it did involve us hiking to the next village to see it!

It is DAMN hot here. Waaay hotter than by the water. There's a sign we pass on our way to and from town that shows the temperature. Yesterday afternoon? 36 degrees and humid. The sweat just doesn't move! Geh.
Needless to say I burnt like an abandoned bbq hotdog and am now sporting the oh so attractive combination of sheet white and lobster red. Least I don't have to haul my pack anywhere soon!
