Hotel lights

I totally forgot I wanted to let you know another way I was tricked my the hotel. Not only could I not figure out the escalator I couldn't figure out the lights in my room. I came in at night so I walked in and tried to turn on the light and it wasn't working so I proceeded to walk around the room trying all of the switches and none of them worked! I was very confused and then I walked back to the door where the first switch is and realized you had to put your room key in a little slot to turn all the switches on. I felt stupid but pretty much everyone said that they did the same thing so I didn't feel as bad.

Everyone is napping right since it is our siesta but I am not tired because I accidentally slept in. What happened was my roommate and I were going to wake up at 7:30 this morning so we could get breakfast and then get ready for our orientation at 10 so she set her alarm on her iPhone. Well I decided that since she set her alarm and my phone was low on battery that I didn't need to set one. That was a bad decision, because Jessica ended up getting sick during the night and went back to her host parents house (she got here on Wednesday so she already has been staying with her host family) and took her phone, our alarm, with her. So I ended up not waking up until 12:45. It wasn't that big of a deal I just missed the orientation but there are others who just got in who missed it too so we can the information from Cynthia, our director, later. It worked out well though cause I was ready just in time for lunch.

So far today it is just as windy and cold as last night but it isn't that bad. It was awesome getting to see the city in the day time. We have an AMAZING view from our hotel because it is right on the pier so it is pretty much just surrounded by the beautifully blue Mediterranean Sea. Here are a few pics from the backside of the hotel. It is a sold glass wall. I came down this afternoon and was blown away by how pretty the view was.
