We have been rather busy, so I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but all is well here in Cadiz. Since our last installment of the Cadiz blog, we've had the chance to visit el rastrillo (flea market) and Playa Victoria. At the Victoria beach, the students got to see a bit of the street life of new Cadiz, mingle with locals, see a gorgeous sunset, and check out some of the beach-side shops and attractions (including an absolutely incredible sand sculpture, which you can see a picture of below).
Tonight is our second group meal out, and we'll be eating at a local pizzeria that features thin-crust Italian style (as in Italy, not New York-style) pizzas.
Tomorrow being a Sunday, we have a very relaxed day planned, with a trip out for churros y chocolate, an optional visit to the mass at the cathedral, and an evening visit up the Cathedral tower. Monday, of course, we'll be back in class again and continuing with our normal rhythm.
Today, we visited los Toruños, a state-owned parque natural (natural park) just outside of Cadiz. The park is beautiful, and features a number of natural marshes (both saltwater and fresh water), tons of local birds, and an absolutely ridiculous number of little crabs with one huge claw. Some of us went for a bike ride around the park, and then nearly all of us took out sea kayaks and messed around in the tidal river for a while.
