Shiplife!

This past summer I went on the Semester at Sea summer 2010 voyage through the mediterranean. On June 15, we boarded our home for the next couple months, the MV Explorer, in Halifax, Canada. We spent 10 days crossing the Atlantic Ocean. For the first few days we became acquainted with ship life. Once classes started, I went to class from 8-12 in the morning, normally followed by nap time (which emily informed me 3-4 hour naps cant really be considered 

naps) or laying out by the pool. This was then followed by dinner and then meeting people at pub nights out on the 7^th deck. After 9 days of this routine, we were sooo happy to finally see land when we passed through the strait of Gibraltar. While passing through the strait, Spain was on the port side of the ship while the African coast was off the starboard side. Everyone was so excited to finally be close to our first port of BARCELONA!
