Play amidst the Work

I have now been on this island for over a month. It's weird how it feels really long and short at the same time. I don't really know how else to explain it.

I'm still learning things at the most accelerated pace than ever before but I seem to be surviving. To take a healthy play break from studying, I decided to go hiking with my friend Doug this morning. It was fun, and both mentally and physically challenging. I'm glad I did it. The above picture is me at the top (all nice and sweaty).


This is the Mountain we climbed (the photo was taken from my balcony). On the right is the big hump (also known as the head of whale rock) and is basically a pile of boulders which we proceeded to scramble up. I've never done anything like that before and it was kind of scary - good thing Doug is an experienced climber!


I'm not actually trying to point to this (I was asking Doug something else) but my finger is pointing to the Bay where the beach is. Also, to the left of my finger, you can see Diamond Rock.

If you want to see more pictures from the hike, you can go to Paris Hill Hike Photos One of the photos is a shot of the windy road that I occasionally run on (it's especially beautiful to run at sunset because you can watch the sun set on the ocean from this particular point on the island).
