Yesterday was a wonderful day. This is my favorite part of traveling, when you start to get a feel for the city and begin to know your way around. Our group split up, and it was nice to go around and feel like we blended in at least a little bit instead of being the big crowd of oblivious Americans. We went around to an archeological museum with artifacts dating back to the 3rd century AD, which was a fun way to learn about the history of the region. We also stopped by the famous open-air Ladies Market, but the only thing we got was fried dough (which was delicious, incidentally). I also had my first McDonald's trip outside of the US, which was cliched but delicious.
Today will be more walking and wandering, maybe more museums and coffee shops. Then another night bus, so I should get back to campus by 9 am, in time for my 12:30 class. Wish me luck on the quiz I have this afternoon!
