September 25

         Today began with a run down the hill and into the sunrise. A few girls (Lauren, Noelia, Nadine, Enyo) and I woke up at seven to go on a run to the harbor below our hotel, which took about 15 minutes each way. It was such a beautiful sight that I hardly felt like I was running, and I cannot wait to do it again. We came back just in time for breakfast followed by metaphysical. Then the group walked into town to draw boats until three. While there I bought organic fruit from a truck and went on a mini adventure to draw two men fishing. I also swam in the water with Tori and got a smoothie. At three, instead of taking the bus up the hill, I walked as I love the walk up and down the hill from our hotel. It takes about 25 minutes, but the view is incredible the whole way.

         Once we got to the hotel some of us went swimming and then headed to dinner in small groups. My group consisted of Dan, Casey, and Austin and our mission was to come up with something unique that we all have in common .  It was a bit challenging at first, but after a while we kept finding random commonalities. We all have visited Multnomah Falls, Oregon, and are all of German background. We had a great time and ended dinner around 9 and got a ride up the hill at 10.  The wifi is out so sorry this is late. Goodnight!
