To finish off what I did in Puerto Rico, I went to the restaurant where the pina colada was created. Delicious! I also did some more kayaking to a beautiful beach. After a three-day stay in Puerto Rico, I am back on the ship until next Tuesday when we arrive to Brazil. I am slightly scared to go there, especially because we are arriving the last night of Carnaval. I am taking an early morning flight to the Amazon and I think I have 3 layovers. It should be quite an adventure just getting there.
So, now that I am back on the ship, I am taking classes. They are: History as a Memoir, Human Rights and Ethics, World Cities, and Global Studies. Each of these classes specifically relate to the countries that we will be visiting. Since I am not taking these classes for credit, I am trying to tell myself that I don't need to get an "A" and to take in all the other activities and relaxation. At night there are a variety of movies showing and events going on. Last night, our photographer had a presentation about travel photography and his pictures were awesome. I strive to have pictures like that!
The food on the ship is pretty good. I think it will be rough when we get to the end of our time on water and they haven't restocked with fresh food. There is definitely repitition, but there are a variety of options. Lots of fish, pasta, salad, and pb&j.

Hey Becca,
ryan and I are stuck in Reno so I finally had some time to look at the blog. Keep on taking lots of pics. Enjoy the experience! Mr. Schulteis and his class will be following you too.

No, you don't need "A"s! Enjoy everything to the fullest. Is there a lot to do on the boat besides classes? I'm glad you're having fun, and just hink of all the great food you can have at each stop.

My name is jake kallan, i am a student in Mr.Schulteis Class. I think what you are doing is cool. I think it's hard to be on a ship a lot. But i think you should also try to get "A"s in class. I still like what you are doing. Keep up the good work

Dear Becca,
