Today was definitely the most chill day yet that we've had on this ship. Semester at Sea had no class today and instead, we had a "reading day". My reading day consisted of waking up for breakfast, taking a nap, tanning by the pool, eating lunch, hanging out by the pool some more, eating dinner, working out, and hanging out by the pool some more. I'd say that it has been a successful day, and such a perfect way to end off the week. Tomorrow morning the ship will stop in the port of Manaus, Brazil, where we'll embark on our South American part of the journey for the next 6 days. The first day I'll be traveling down the Amazon by river boat, fishing for Parana's all day long, followed by a night out on the town. The next 4 days I'll be isolated in a remote village 100 miles away from our ship, where 20 other students and I will perform a community service project. I cannot wait for this leg of the trip, where I will be aiding the natives with repairs to their schoolhouse, construction of a community center, and whatever else they through my way. Get ready to hear about my amazing experience in a couple days to come! Hope everyone at home is doing fine, and wish me luck in the rain forest!
