The past few days have been primarily spent exploring, resting, and meeting the other DTS students that continue to arrive. Today was the official start to the DTS and we have everyone here except for two students who will be arriving later in the week! I have amazing roommates from the U.S., Canada, and Finland. (5 girls) and another 5 girls in the other room, and 4 girls on DTS staff in another. Aaaand we all have one shower and toilet to share. :) It hasn't been that bad though! The guys live in the basement, and the 2 guys on DTS staff live off base. It's a full house!
We walked right across that bridge and out past the Mary statue there and the waves come crashing up onto the rocks and splash up! It's just around 15 minutes walking from our house to here.
This is the view from on the bridge.
Lots of cool places near us. Loving Biarritz! Thanks for all your prayers! Since we are so close to Spain we are going to take a trip there one of the weekends coming up, as well as to the mountains near us here in Biarritz to snowboard or skii! I'm also planning on learning to surf here while I can, there is a German guy here on base who has done a surfing DTS previously who says he will take some of us out the next time the waves are "beginner" enough. So, lots of stuff to look forward to these next few months, as well as learning tons on the biblical side once we start getting more into routine.
Until next time!
