Day 17: June 21, 2009

Fresh coconut water... so refreshing...
A view from the lobby...
I woke up early but stayed in bed past my usual wake up time, savoring free time after very busy and exhausing three weeks of travel, requiring us to be up early and be ready to hit the ground running. While my roommate was getting ready, I happened to check breakfast time -- oops, no breakfast past 10:00 a.m. It was 9:00 a.m. so I went downstairs for breakfast, planning to come back and get ready for 11:00 a.m. lectures. Surprise, surprise (and a very pleasant surprise!), lectures won't start until 2:00 p.m. Yeah, time for the beach!

Our hotel is across the street from the beach and there are free beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels! Service, huh? :) We set on the beach, then walked and splashed through the water, then relaxed again with fresh coconut water... Ah, I can stay here, I think... :)

Then we had two excellent lectures and went out for dinner. I was not able to get Internet access last night and this morning and was totally frustrated. Because it was Sunday, tech support was not available and I tried everything. Finally, I took my computer to the reception, hoping they might be able to do something. Amazingly, they did! The guy only closed and opened the browser (of course, I have done that a gazillion times already) and, all of a sudden, Internet connection was established. Yeah, now I can check messages and take care of grades!
