Today was our much needed day of rest. We slept in as long as we wanted (11am)..it was great! We got a little too tipsy last night. After we finally got ourselves up and about we went into the train station for a quick bite to eat at McDonalds, where Leigh ran into someone she knew from Eckerd...Small World!!!! After our much needed breakfast/lunch we jumped on the Metro out of the city. We then had to get on another train to take us towards the beaches!! It was ...
