Cadiz from Above

Hello All!

I left my camera in my apartment today, so I won't be able to put up any photographs until this afternoon.  I did want to check in and let you all know that we're having a great time and continuing to enjoy Cadiz immensely (though sadly, now counting days that remain rather than the days until we arrive). 

In the last days, we've visited the remains of buildings in Cadiz that stretch all the way back 3,000 years, giving solid evidence to us of the ancient and interesting history of this city.  We've also climbed up to the top of one of the Cathedral bell towers (climbing up an interior ramp, not scaling the tower itself), where we could see all of Cadiz and get a really nice aerial understanding of the city. 

Last night, the students played Humans vs. Zombies (a sort of new, hybrid version of "tag") in some central squares.  The game was happily postponed by a local religious procession taking place in the same part of the city, which was a nice accident that provided a view of local culture. 

Pictures soon!
