"A Little Day for a Big Swim"

The majority of this week so far has been spent at sea, and it has been fantastic! On Monday, we went on a cruise around Villasimius. We took a rather large sailboat to a couple of beaches that were great for exploring, ate a delicious lunch on board which (surprisingly) included pasta that had been cooked below decks, and jumped off the side of the boat countless times. It was great fun, despite the lightning and thunderstorms that were looming on the horizon- which made all of our hair stick up on our heads!

On Tuesday, we had presentations from a couple of guest speakers. The first was on End of Life Vehicles in Italy, which was especially interesting for me because that was the subject that my group and I had chosen for the first project, and the second presentation was about remediation of old mining sites in Sardinia.


Today was our last Wednesday in Sardinia (!) and we spent the entire day at the beach in Teurredda. Personally, I spent a lot of my beach time making tunnels in the sand with Annalisa’s kids, and was very grateful for the delicious homemade picnic food that we were given. The rest of our (final) week here will be a busy one for sure, the details of which will be explained in my final blog post on Sunday!
