2 more days

Yesterday we got back from taking a relaxing couple of days next to the Mediterranean. It was a great time to look back on what we have learned and prepare for heading home.


Tonight Mark, Krystal, and I had the opportunity to go over to one of the master's students houses to have dinner with him and his family. They are a great couple with 4 kids who are doing work over here while studying. It was awesome to get a flavor for what some people's lives are like here who come from the U.S. to work. Tomorrow we will pack everything up and get ready to head out Friday. Crazy that its already time to go home. Here's a list of the places that we have gone this semester!
