I finally have internet in my room, but I´m not sure for how long. The computer guy here couldn´t get it working, so I decided to give it a try tonight, and I finally got it. There are actually quite a few people from Southern here. Of them, there is only one that I could know that I didn´t. Well, let me tell you what I did today. I decided that I would ride down to the beach, it´s actually pretty far if you don´t drive. So I borrowed a bike from the dorm and headed out. I got down to Sagunto and I was tempted to go up and look at the fortress, but I decided not to because we will all be going there on a tour before too long. Sagunto has narrow cobblestone streets that are really cool (super hiper mega chevere!) Anywho, I kept going and I got to Port Sagunto. I ended up in an industrial part of the town when ¨it¨ happened. I road up on a pretty high curb, I did everything right, but I guess it was to high, and the bike wasn´t of the highest quality, and pop went the tire. So I was in the middle of the city with a dead bike. I thought I was pretty close to the beach, so I decided to keep going, because I knew that there were some other students that had gone down to the beach. I thought that maybe I could get a ride if any of them had come in a car. I got to the beach after another hour had passed. I found a little podunk cafe on the boardwalk that had a drinking fountain and got some water. I was really thirsty! Then I went to the beach and found some students. Of course, they had come on the bus. Smart me didn´t think to bring any money. So turned around and headed back into town, walking my bike. I forgot to mention that when I was walking the bike before I had remembered that in one of Stephanie´s survival books it had said that if you had a flat tire you could stuff the tire with ¨"rags, plastic bags, leaves, or anything you can find." So I had stuffed the tire with litter and rode the bike a little. It really doesn´t work very well. It´s also kind of hard on your backside because there is a bump every time you go over the valve stem. I finally got back to Colegio Adventista de Sagunto. The whole trip took about five and a half hours. It not supposed to take that long, but I was dead tired from walking all day. When I got back to the dorm I was so thirsty I staggered into the dorm and took a long swig from their anemic drinking fountain. It is not very good at producing alot of water. I lived.

 Well, it is very Mediterreanean here. Afterall we are on the Mediterranean. Almost like a desert. We have peaches, dates, olives, alot of oranges, pomegranite, prickly pears, cactus, conifers, squirrels, and a lot of other edible and inedible things.
