This morning we woke up and got real American showers in the student apartments we are staying at in the coastal city. We met the student team of 5 that are over here for 3 months. They are ages 19-24 and have done a similar trip as ours just deeper and spread out. We took a tour of the coastal city with our fabulous host for the week, Anna. She has been essential for the success of our trip. It has gone so smoothly and we would have been lost without her. She knows the country well from living here for 3 years and loves the people. It was fun for her to show us her hometown today. We toured the ancient walled in Portuguese City and any amazing cistern that was a well for the city at one point. Today it has really cool reflectuons from the way light shines inside and we got some great photos. We also learned it was used in the movie Sahara.
We ate lunch at the base hosue with all the staff and students and then we went to our 2 houe history class which you can read about below.
